Hakan Sukur was chosen the most outstanding player of the past 50 years for UEFA's Jubilee awards.
Here is the article from UEFA.COM
"Hakan Sukur (a prominent Turkish soccer player in Galatasaray) has enjoyed unprecedented success in domestic and international competitions and become Turkey's most recognisable player," stated UEFA under a news titled "Hakan Sukur still towering in Turkey" in its web-site.
"It is no accident that the rise of Turkish football in the early 1990s coincided with the emergence of the country's newest football star. Hakan Sukur has amply fulfilled that early promise, enjoying unprecedented success in domestic and international football and becoming Turkey's most recognisable player," UEFA noted.
"His country's top scorer in international football, Hakan Sukur holds Turkey's record for the most goals in European club competitions with 38 strikes, and has been a prolific scorer in the Turkish league," UEFA stated.
UEFA noted that Sukur also had the honor of scoring the fastest goal in FIFA World Cup finals history when he struck after just 11 seconds of Turkey's third-place play-off match against Korea in the 2002
