ATATURK & FENERBAHÇE |
The founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a Fenerbahce supporter.
On the 10th of August, after a 3-3 draw against Galatasaray in the Gazi Cup
Ataturk had three Galatasaray and 2 Fenerbahce supporters next to him, where
he was quoted: "We are three on three here, because I'm a Fenerbahce supporter
too". When the club's building at Kusdili burnt down, the first donation for a new building came from our great leader Ataturk. Ataturk has also visited the club and has signed the book of honour where we wrote the following: "I was informed of Fenerbahce Clubs admirable activities and had made it a duty of mine to visit and congratulate the club. That visit has fallen on this day and I hereby record my tribute and congratulations." 3.5.1918 ARMY COMMANDER Mustafa Kemal Ataturk |
