Because of Tuncay Turkish fans flock to Middlesbrough's website

Soccer fans in Istanbul were responsible for more hits on Middlesbrough's website in June than any others, overtaking those from the northeast England club's own town.

Boro signed Turkey forward Tuncay Sanli last week on a free transfer after his contract with Istanbul-based Turkish champion Fenerbahce expired.

With two days of June remaining, 12.8 per cent of all visitors to Middlesbrough's Web site www.mfc.premiumtv.co.uk this month came from Istanbul. Middlesbrough was second on the list with 8.8 per cent, with London third on 7.1 and Turkish capital Ankara fourth on 4.8.

When Boro announced it had agreed to contract terms with the 25-year-old Tuncay on June 13, 58.6 per cent of the site's visitors came from Turkey.
