Turkish City players?

Sun Jun 04, 2023 2:20 pm

With the appointment of Bulut (Turkish but born in Germany)

I was wondering if we've had any Turkish players play for us in the past?

I can only think of Kerim Frei but he only played like 2 games for us

Christ that's a hell of a shout!

Wasn't he on loan from Fulham for a short while?

How about Fahti Tomlin? ;)

Yeah on loan from Fulham only to be called back after about 2 or 3 games.

Apparently he looked a decent player with us but I missed all of his games due to being in ... wait for it ... Turkey of all places :lol:

Greek I believe. Thinking his family had some interest in the Corfu by Night, Cowbridge Rd; many years ago….. I could be mistaken though?

No your right - but we could get Tarkiemicaleflovechid - on here to confirm ;)

We did have another Turkey based player ... Lee Tomlin he enjoyed a bar or 2 of Turkish Delight ;)

My sincere apologies to Tarki and his family for believing he may be Turkish. Not a great idea to mix up Turkish & Greek heritages. :bluescarf:
