Ken Monkou
| Date of birth | 29 November 1964 |
| Place of birth | Surinam |
| Nationality | Dutch |
| Weight | 91 kg |
| Height | 1.91 m |
| Position | Defender |
This veteran defender only featured briefly for Huddersfield Town during the 2000-01 campaign, appearing in the home games with Bolton Wanderers and Wimbledon in September.
Always commanding in defence and a strong leader, Ken unfortunately fell out of favour at the MacAlpine Stadium and found himself on the transfer list.
Cardiff City and Reading both showed interest in taking him on loan, but neither move materialised and after being released around the transfer deadline he had a brief trial with Sheffield United.
