Patrick Hervé Suffo Kengné (born 17 January 1978) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career[edit]

Suffo was born in Ebolowa, Cameroon. He played in France, England, Spain and the United Arab Emirates before joining Norwegian team Odd Grenland in 2005. His form immediately helped Odd Grenland climb away from the relegation zone. In October of that year he was supposed to sign a contract with rivals, Vålerenga, but he did not. During February 2006 he signed a short-term contract with Israeli team Maccabi Petah Tikva but was subsequently released at the end of this period.

His career was littered with disciplinary problems; whilst at French club Nantes he was banned from playing for eight months for lashing out at a referee.[2]

AtSheffield United Suffo was part in a 21-man mass brawl during the First Division game dubbed as the Battle of Bramall Lane against West Bromwich Albion on 16 March 2002.[2] This game had to be abandoned as Sheffield United were reduced to six players due to three red cards and two injuries. Suffo was one of the three who were sent off as he clashed heads with one of the opposition players.[3] Afterwards, he was told that he had no future with the club and in April Suffo was sent to Spanish Second Division side Numancia on loan for the remainder of the season.[4][2] In May he received a £3,000 fine and was banned for three games in addition to a three-match suspension already served for his dismissal.[5]

In September 2007, he trialled with Scottish side Dundee United.[6]

On 22 July 2008, Suffo featured in a pre-season friendly for League One side Walsall against Aston Villa. He scored in this game to add to the two goals he notched the previous week in a game against Worcester City.

In November 2008, Suffo signed a "pay as you play" deal with Wrexham, making his debut as a substitute during a 1–0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers. His first goal for the club came in his second appearance when he converted a penalty during a 2–1 win over Kettering Town.

Suffo signed for Coventry United of the Midland Football League Division Two in August 2014.[7][8] He made his debut playing the full 90 minutes against Paget Rangers in a 3–2 Coventry United win on 16 August 2014. He has since become a player/assistant manager for the club after the departure of Shamir Alam.[9]

International career[edit]

Suffo played at international level for the Cameroon national team, won the gold medal for football at the 2000 Olympic GamesinSydney, Australia and played in the 2002 FIFA World CupinSouth Korea and Japan, where he was sent off in the final group game against Germany. He was also part of the Cameroon team who won the 2002 African Cup of Nations, scoring a penalty during the shootout in the final as they beat Senegal.[10]

Personal life[edit]

Suffo holds Cameroonian and French nationalities.[11] He acquired French nationalitybynaturalization on 28 April 1998.[12]
