Excerpt: Besart Berisha (born 29 July 1985) is an Albanian born footballer, who plays as a striker for A-League club Brisbane Roar and internationally for the Albania national football team. Berisha began his youth career at German NOFV-Oberliga club Tennis Borussia Berlin in 2003 where he stayed for just a year before being spotted by Fussball-Bundesliga club Hamburger SV. After signing for Hamburg he was immediately loaned to Danish Superliga team Aalborg Boldspilklub where he spent a rather unsuccessful spell, playing only three games and scoring no goals. The following season he was loaned out to fellow Superliga side AC Horsens, where he scored 11 goals in 31 appearances becoming the team's top scorer that season. For the 2006-07 football season, he remained at Hamburg and was given his chances in the first team. On 6 December 2006, Berisha became the first Albanian ever to score a goal in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League by scoring his first goal for Hamburg in the match against CSKA Moscow at home in Hamburg. He went on to make 12 appearances for Hamburg in the 2006-07 season, nine of which were as a substitute. On 3 July 2007, Burnley purchased Berisha from Hamburg SV for 340,000, this followed his impressive performance for Albania against England B on Burnley's home ground Turf Moor. After his performance many European clubs were interested in signing the player but Berisha was eventually signed to Burnley on a three year deal, subject to the player being granted a work permit. The permit was eventually granted on 3 July 2007 and the deal was completed. Berisha was ruled out for the 2007-08 season when he picked up an injury whilst playing for his country in an International friendly against Malta. It was originally believed to be a minor knock to the knee but it was later discovered that the injury was more serious and was likely to keep the player out for 5-6 weeks. After seeing a surgeon it was further revealed that the player had in fact snapped
