Based on the book "Nostalgjia dhe Simpatia e Naftetarit" by Engjell S. Kureta The city of Kucove (Qyteti Stalin at the time) had two Pleiads: 1) "The Nostalgic" which started around the 1960s with professor Njazi Shehu dhe Hilmi Veleshnja who educated, trained and prepared the young generation for the team to become a candidate to gain entry in the First Category. However, in 1964 they lost (4-3) to "Ylli i Kuq" (The red Star) from Progradec. In 1965 again on the final against "Skenderbeu" of Korça lost again. Here ends the Nostalgic era and starts the new one. 2) The young generation that continued in the footsteps of the Nostalgic era and was trained by Ibrahim Hoxha brought finally Naftetari to compete in the First Category.
Here are many of the players of these two great Pleiads:
