Abdel-Karim Ezzat Sakr (Arabic: عبد الكريم عزت صقر; born 8 November 1918 – 5 March 1994) was an Egyptian football forward who played for Egypt and Zamalek. He played most of his career with Zamalek, and achieved 14 titles with the club. Starting his professional career with Al Ahly, he is the all-time top-scorer of the Cairo Derby, with 19 goals (10 goals for Zamalek and 9 goals for Al Ahly). Sakr is the only player to score in both derbies ending with the largest score in history, as Zamalek defeated Al Ahly with a score of 6–0 twice, in the 1941–42 Cairo League and the 1944 Egypt Cup Final, respectively.
