The Recovered Serie A Week 25 Torino vs Parma on Saturday 20 June 2020 at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy at 19:30 having a special ex player.  Turkish striker Hakan Şükür is the old flame of both Torino and Parma.

Hakan Şükür is already retired and living in the United States. Şükür was born on 1 September 1971 (age 48) in Sapanca, Turkey. Şükür is of Albanian origin, his parents are immigrants from Yugoslavia, his father being born in Pristina, and his mother in Skopje. Şükür played for Sakaryaspor, for whom he made his debut in the Turkish topflight still just a youngster before winning the Turkish Cup in ’88 with them. Şükür then moved to Bursaspor in the early ‘90s, then from 1992 to 1995 he played for Galatasaray.

Torino signed Hakan Şükür in ’95 bringing him to Serie A, becoming the second Turkish player to ever play in the Serie A. However, his experience with Torino was short lived: on 10 September 1995 he scored his first Italian goal against Bari, but halfway through the season he returned to Turkey for his second stint at Galatasaray until he returned to Italy in 2000.

Inter were the team to bring him back to Serie A and Şükür played 24 games scoring five goals for them. The following year, Hakan Şükür moved to Parma. He scored his first  goal with Parma in the 2-1 derby win against Bologna, then scored again in the following away match as they beat Brescia 4-1. He also scored in the game against Udinese at the Stadio Tardini. Therefore his experience ended with three goals to his name, and at the end of the season, a Coppa Italia trophy.

Şükür career continued in the Premier League  playing for Blackburn before returning to Galatasaray in Turkey.  For the National Team, Hakan Şükür made 112 appearances with 51 goals alongside his third place in the 2002 World Cup and participation in the Euros in 1996 and 2000.

According to the SUN newspaper article on January 14, 2020, reportedly, Hakan Şükür is driving for Uber and selling books in the United States while trying to rebuild life after Turkish exile for opposing his country’s hardline president Recep Erdogan. All the best to Hakan Şükür.
