Born in Tirana, Bert Jashari was raised by his mother after his father died when he was only 3 years old. His mother remarried an Italian man, who later was allowed to leave communist Albania for Italy. Jashari replaced the country's most famous footballing son Loro Boriçi in the Partizani forward line in 1956 and played alongside other Albanian greats Refik Resmja and Panajot Pano in an all-conquering Partizani team. In 1968, he suddenly quit football after he surprisingly was not named in the squad facing Torino in the second leg of their 1968–69 European Cup Winners' Cup match away in Italy.[4]

International

He made his debut for Albania in a June 1963 Olympic Games qualification match against Bulgaria in Tirana and earned a total of 7 caps, scoring 1 goal. His final international was a May 1965 FIFA World Cup qualification match away against Northern Ireland.[5] In the latter gane, Jashari scored Albania's first ever goal in a competitive international game.[4]

Jashari took 31 Korriku to the Kategoria Superiore for the first time in history in 1981.[4]
