Raoul Kouakou

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raoul Kouakou (born 1980 in Abidjan) is a Côte d'Ivoire football defender who currently plays for Sandefjord Fotball.

He has 4 caps for the national team, but was not called up to the 2006 World Cup.

While playing in Norway he was dubbed Røde Raoul (Red Raoul) by the tabloid media due to his many red cards. [1].

During his time in Malmö FF he got the nickname Göken (Swedish for the cuckoo). In a 2006 game against Hammarby IF (his 2nd game in the Swedish first league), he scored an own goal and accidentally head butted team-mate Christian Järdler, who ended up with a fractured jaw.

After his transfer to Sandefjord Fotball in 2007, a knee injury stopped him from playing. Sandefjord claims that Raouls previous club, Malmö FF, withheld information about this injury when the transfer took place.
