Blerim Džemaili (Macedonian: Бљерим Џемаили, Albanian: Blerim Xhemaili) (born 12 April 1986) is a Swiss football midfielder of Macedonian-Albanian origin who plays for Napoli.

Club career[link]

Childhood and early career[link]

Blerim was born to Fekredin and Shemije Xhemaili.^[1] Džemaili's family originate from Bogovinje and are of Albanian heritage.^[2] At the age of 4, Blerim and his family migrated to Zürich, Switzerland.^[2] At the age of 9, Blerim joined youth club Oerlikon Zürich for one year before moving to FC Unterstrass. At the age of 14, Blerim moved to third league team YF Juventus as a youth player before moving to FC Zürich in 2001. While at FC Zürich, Džemaili rose through the ranks and made the senior team at the age of 17.

FC Zürich[link]

Džemaili started his senior career at Swiss side FC Zürich. In his first season for Zürich, he made thirty appearances, scored twice and had three assists. Džemaili played either as a central or defensive midfielder. In the 2004–05 season, Džemaili helped the club win the Swiss Cup. Džemaili imposed a strong influence on the field as he possessed accurate passing capabilities as well as a fast and aggressive approach to the game.^[3] This led Džemaili to taking the role of captain in the 2005–06. Džemaili was 19 when he was chosen captain and is one of the youngest captains in Swiss football history. Džemaili led his team to glory as FC Zürich won the Swiss Super League in the 2005–06 and 2006–2007 seasons.

After winning the Swiss cup and league, Džemaili moved to the English Premier League side Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton[link]

Džemaili signed a preliminary contract agreement with Bolton Wanderers on 9 February 2007, meaning that he would sign for the Premiership outfit once his contract ran out in the summer of 2007.^[4]

Former Bolton manager Sam Allardyce was quoted as saying: "Džemaili is a fantastic player, who has played for the best team in Switzerland for the past three years. For someone so young, he has a wealth of experience. At the tender age of 20, he is the skipper of FC Zurich and is expected to become a regular international for Switzerland in the years ahead. He has hardly missed a game for FC Zurich since he started playing for them at the age of 17. I am excited by the prospect of working with Blerim next season".^[5]

However things did not go as planned for the pair; Džemaili sustained a rupturing cruciate knee ligaments and was out for six months.^[6] Džemaili made his debut as a substitute in the club's FA Cup defeat to Sheffield United in what proved to be his only showing of the 2007-08 campaign. Džemaili insists he would not change anything about his time at Bolton following his season-long loan move to Torino.^[7]

Torino / Parma[link]

Džemaili joined Torino on a season-long loan deal, on 1 September 2008, making his debut with Torino on 24 September 2008, and became a staple fixture in their side for the season. Despite their relegation to Serie B, Torino confirmed they had signed him on a permanent basis after they agreed an undisclosed fee with Bolton.^[8][9]

After having played just once for Torino at Coppa Italia,^[10] Džemaili completed a loan move to Parma on 31 August 2009. In exchange, Daniele Vantaggiato moved to Turin.^[11] His first and second halves were then bought by Parma in the summers of 2010 and 2011^[12] for a total fee of €7 million.^[13]

Napoli[link]

On 25 June 2011 he was signed by S.S.C. Napoli for €9 million^[13] with Fabiano Santacroce (loan) and Manuele Blasi (free)^[13] going the other way to Parma. Džemaili has been a consistent performer so far for Napoli. Džemaili has been well received by the fans as he has scored twice and assisted once in eleven appearances in the Serie A.^[14] His first was a right footed shot from outside the box to the bottom left corner following a corner in a match against Lecce^[15] and his second was struck late to earn an equaliser as Napoli earned a point at Novara.^[16] Džemaili has also appeared six times in the UEFA Champions League group stages and helped Napoli into the final 16.^[14] At the end of his first season with Napoli, Dzemaili has made 28 appearences in the Serie A, scoring three times and providing four assists^[14]. On the 25th of March, 2012, he scored a notable long distance goal against Catania^[17]

Dzemaili had appeared regularly for the side in the Coppa Italia and helped Napoli with the cup.

Richard "Rick" Bognar (born January 16, 1970) is a Canadian professional wrestler. He is best known as the "second" Razor Ramon who debuted in the World Wrestling Federation as a replacement for the original man to use the Ramon gimmick, Scott Hall.^[1]

Wrestling career[link]

Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling[link]

Bognar debuted in 1989 in Canadian indies, including the CIWF, and later joined the Japanese Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling promotion in 1991 as Big Titan through Ricky Fuji's connections in Canada. He made his debut on November 20, 1991 while entering into the FMW World Strongest Tag Team Tournament with The Gladiator. He won the World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship on January 15, 1992, defeating Atsushi Onita. Bognar's reign lasted just fifteen days before he lost to Tarzan Goto in Osaka on January 30. He was also part of the original Team Canada stable with Ricky Fuji, Dr. Luther, and The Gladiator. He formed a tag team with The Gladiator, and on January 18, 1994, they defeated Atsushi Onita and Katsutoshi Niyama in a tournament final to become the first ever Brass Knuckles Tag Team Champions. Their reign lasted until April 21, 1994, when they lost to Mr. Pogo and Hisakatsu Oya. His last match for the company would be on December 9, 1994 at Korakuen Hall in a loss to The Gladiator.

Wrestle And Romance / Wrestle Association R[link]

He would join Genichiro Tenryu's WAR in 1995. In WAR, he wrestled under the name Ti Do, and he was an ally of Fuyuki-Gun, which consisted of Hiromichi "Kodo" Fuyuki, Gedo, and Jado; Lionheart would also join the group.

World Wrestling Federation[link]

In October 1996, play-by-play announcer Jim Ross introduced Rick Bognar as "Razor Ramon" and Glenn Jacobs as "Diesel" as part of a storyline mocking the departure of former employees Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, and also as an attempt to turn Ross into a heel. The Jim Ross heel turn proved unpopular and was dropped almost immediately, and despite receiving a WWF Tag Team Championship match against Owen Hart and The British Bulldog at the In Your House 12: It's Time pay-per-view, the gimmick's television lifespan lasted only until the 1997 Royal Rumble, where Bognar was the first one eliminated in the match by Ahmed Johnson. While Jacobs, who was the last wrestler legally eliminated from the Royal Rumble match, was later repackaged as the Undertaker's brother "Kane" and went on to experience considerable success, Bognar's one year contract expired and he left the company. Aside from a brief angle with Steve Williams in 1999, Ross has always remained a face since this gimmick failed.

New Japan Pro Wrestling[link]

Bognar returned to Japan, where he joined New Japan Pro Wrestling and became a member of the villainous nWo Japan stable. He ended up injuring his neck in a match against Shinya Hashimoto on February 15, 1998 at the Nippon Budokan Hall. Although he wrestled a couple of more tours after his neck injury, he never felt the same afterwards and wrestled his last match on April 23, 1999 at the Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan when he teamed with Keiji Muto and Hiroyoshi Tenzan defeating Tatsumi Fujinami, Manabu Nakanishi and Osamu Nishimura.

Semi-retirement[link]

In 2001, he opened a professional wrestling school in his hometown of Calgary with Bad News Brown. He ran the school until late 2003.

Acting career[link]

Bognar appeared in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show episode "Honey, Meet the Barbarians" as the "Meanest Barbarian" on February 6, 1998.^[2]
