Radhi Jaïdi

Radhi Ben Abdelmajid Jaïdi (born August 30, 1975 in Tunis, Tunisia) is a Tunisia football (soccer)er who currently plays for Birmingham City F.C. as a Defender (football).

Jaïdi signed for Bolton Wanderers F.C. on a free transfer in July 2004 from Espérance Sportive de Tunis, who won the Tunisian league title the previous season. He was the first Tunisian player to join an English Premier League club. Jaïdi made a lasting first impression with Bolton coach Sam Allardyce, who has consistently hailed him as a supreme header of the ball.

Jaïdi joined Birmingham City in the summer of 2006 for £2 million. He made his debut in a 1–0 win over Crystal Palace F.C. in the early stages of the season although he almost scored an own goal in this match.

Jaïdi is also a regular in the Tunisia national football team line-up and was selected by coach Roger Lemerre for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He scored the goal which secured a 2–2 draw in their opening game against Saudi Arabia. He had previously been part of Tunisia's 2004 African Nations Cup-winning squad, and played in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He captained the Tunisian national team in the 2008 African Cup of Nations, where they went out in the quarter finals to Cameroon.
