Must read

Turkish TV channel TRT sports commentator Alper Bakircigil was fired during a live broadcast of the match of the 3rd round of the World Cup in Qatar between the national teams of Canada and Morocco (1:2).

And the journalist suffered because, speaking about the statistics of the fastest goals in the history of world championships, he noted that the record holder is still the legend of the Turkish national team Hakan Shukur (at the 2002 World Cup, the striker hit the gates of the South Korean team in just 10, 8 seconds after the starting whistle). ).

The fact is that in 2015, Hakan Shukur ran into problems due to criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on social networks. He was recognized as a member of a terrorist organization due to ties with the Islamic public figure Fethullah Gülen.

After that, Hakan was forced to flee to the United States, where he opened a coffee business in San Francisco. However, after “strange people” began to come to his institution, he was under police protection, and the FBI took up his case. Later, the ex-forward moved to Washington, where he began working as a taxi driver and bookseller.

We add that the ex-forward of Galatasaray and a number of other clubs ended his playing career in 2008, after which from 2011 to 2013 he was a member of the Turkish Parliament from the ruling Justice and Development Party.

The bronze medalist of the 2002 World Cup, Shukur, repeatedly became the champion and winner of the Turkish Cup as part of Galatasaray, and also won the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the club. As part of the Turkish national team, the forward played 112 matches, scoring 51 goals (a record for the national team). During his career, which lasted from 1987 to 2008, he also played for Sakaryaspor, Bursaspor, Torino, Inter, Parma and Blackburn.

Hakan Šukur scores the fastest goal in World Cup history

Ironically, the striker played his 100th match for the Turkish national team in the 2006 World Cup qualifier against the Ukrainian team.

Earlier, FACTS reported that the head coach of the 2022 World Cup participant remembered how he experienced a personal tragedy.
