And in the amateur club, Erroxpor advised me to play in Camialtı, another amateur club in the 1970s. I played as an attacker for Camialtı for seven years. I was also studying and doing youth policy at the same time “.

After Camialtı, I signed for wayET and played there for seven years. I've won five titles in my seven years at wayET. It was a personal milestone. I was a captain there. At that time, the terrain was terrible. You'll get hurt pretty soon. There was no grass on the field”.
