Thanks guys; the story with Hamit Altintop he hit the woodwork 6 or 7 times this year in the CL alone. That has got to be some sort of record and he finally scores in his hometown against the team that made him famous by hitting the upright and getting it in.
But for us the story of the season is Burak Yilmaz what an unbelievable turnaround this guy has made in his career. Burak was 19-20 years old when Besiktas signed him and he stayed there for a season or a season and a half without scoring a goal, they traded him for a doner kebap and a bottle of raki and he got knocked around small teams until Fenerbahce gave him a shot and he failed miserably there and he was traded to Trabzon these teams are the big four of Turkish football; in Trabzon he ignited last year scoring something like 32-33 goals we got him for 5 mio euros because of a release clause in his contract and now he is joint top scorer with Ronaldo playing alongside Drogba and the rumours over here are Chelsea are looking to buy him to replace Drobga. What this kid has done is akin to turning Mark Sanchez into Peyton Manning it really is amazing.
