Erald 'Tushe' Turdiu (born July 15, 1984 in Tirana) is an Albanian footballer playing for Dinamo Tirana in the Albanian First Division as a Midfielder.[1] He has played for KF Tirana and Shkumbini Peqin.
Personal life
Turdiu was assaulted by police in 2008 whilst he was a Shkumbini Peqin player, following a brawl to which he was witness. It is claimed that Turdiu had insulted the on-duty police officer and they reacted violently, beating Turdiu in the centre of the capital, Tirana.[2]
In December 2010, Turdiu brutally assaulted Albanian Superliga referee Laver Alla, outside a bar near Tirana International Airport. He faced a lifetime ban by the FSHF as the player had a string of offences and bans, including an 8 match ban following a mass brawl during the Albanian Superliga 2010 Playoff finals.[3] He received a 4-year ban by the FSHF but following an appeal by the player and his club Kastrioti Krujë, the ban was lifted after just 8 months meaning Turdiu was eligible to play at the start of the 2011–12 campaign.[4]
