Remember former Turkish striker Hakan Sukur? He now works as a taxi driver in America after being expelled from Erdogan

The ex-attacker, who played for Inter and Blackburn Rover, joined politics after he retired from football, but a dispute with the current president, Recep Tayip Erdogan, left him with nothing, Periscopi broadcasts.

Sukur, who scored 51 goals in 112 presentations for his National, joined the Erdogan Party in 2011 but resigned two years later due to differences in attitudes.

I have nothing left, Erdogan took it all; my right to freedom of speech and my right to work,” said Sukur for very Mail.

No one can explain what my role should be in coup. I've done nothing illegal, I'm not a traitor or a terrorist.

I could be an enemy of this government, but not of the Turkish Nation. I love my country.

After sharing with Erdogan, I began receiving threats. My wife's location was attacked, my children were harassed, my father was imprisoned, and all my assets were confiscated.

So I came to the U.S., first run a cafe in California, but they always came weird people to the bar. Now I drive Uber and I sell books.” /Periscope. com/
