History

Past Fenerbahçe kits
Past Fenerbahçe kits

Ziya Songülen and Necip Okaner founded Fenerbahçe Spor Külübü a century ago in 1907 on Beşbıyık Street in Moda.[13]. This made Fenerbahçe the second Turkish football club, after their arch-rivals Galatasaray SK, which was founded in 1905. The club had to be kept under wraps because of the strict Ottoman rule under Sultan Abdul Hamid, where Turkish youth were not allowed to set up clubs or play football.[14] Songülen was elected the first president of the club, Ayetullah became the first General Secretary, and Okaner was given the post of the General Captain.[14] The lighthouse situated on the Fenerbahçe cape was a big influence on the design of the club's first emblem, which sported the yellow and white colors of daffodils around the lighthouse. The kits were also designed with yellow and white stripes.[14] The emblem and colors of the club were changed in 1910 when Topuz Hikmet redesigned the badge and changed the colors to yellow and navy, still seen today. Fenerbahçe's activities were kept in secrecy until a legislation reform in 1908, when, under a new law, all football clubs had to register to exist legally.[14] Fenerbahçe joined the Istanbul League in 1909, finishing fifth in their first year. The first line-up included Ziya Songül, Ayetullah Bey, Necip Okaner, Galip Kulaksızoğlu, Hassan Sami Kocamemi, Asaf Beşpınar, Enver Yetiker, Şevkati Hulusi Bey, Fuat Hüsnü Kayacan, Hamit Hüsnü Kayacan, and Nasuhi Baydar.[15] They did not achieve any success until the 1912-13 season, when they won the league undefeated.[14]

Fenerbahçe played against the staff of the Royal Navy that occupied Istanbul during the Turkish War of Independence. Some British soldiers formed football teams that were named after the players speciality, for example Essex Engineers, Irish Guards, Grenadiers, and Artillery. These teams played against each other and against local football teams in Istanbul. Fenerbahçe won many of these matches.[16] The Turkish Football Federation founded a national league in 1959, which continues today under the name of the Türkiye Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe won the 1959 Turkish First Football League, beating Galatasaray S.K. 4-1 on aggregate.[17] The next year, Fenerbahçe participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. They qualified through a 4-3 win over Csepel SC. They lost their first round game to OGC Nice 1-5 in a playoff game after drawing on aggregate.[18] Fenerbahçe became the most successful Turkish club of the 1960s, winning five out of 10 leagues. They were also runners-up three times.[19][20] In 1967, in Balkans Cup for clubs from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Turkey, and Yugoslavia was playing between 1960-61 to 1993-94, Fenerbahçe won the cup after three matches against Greece club AEK Athens FC. That cup was played (at least) 27 times. Fenerbahçe is the first Turkish club which won a competition out of the country. Also Sarıyer G.K. and Samsunspor won the cup after long years. The 1970s saw Fenerbahçe win four more league titles. The decade also saw the first non-Istanbul club and a club outside of Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş J.K., and Galatasaray S.K. to win a league title. Trabzonspor went on to win four titles during the decade.[20] Fenerbahçe won three titles in the 1980s, a period where each club in the "Big Four"[21] won at least two titles[20] Galatasaray S.K. and Beşiktaş J.K. dominated the Turkish League during the 1990s, combining to win nine out of 10 times. Fenerbahçe's only Turkish League success during the 1990s came in the 1995-1996 season under Carlos Alberto Parreira.[19][20]

Fenerbahçe won the league in 2001, denying Galatasaray a fifth consecutive title. They followed up the next season with a runners-up place behind Galatasaray with new coach Werner Lorant. The next season, however, did not go so well as Fenerbahçe finished in sixth place with Ariel Ortega in the squad.[22] But that season Fenerbahçe won 6-0 wictory against arcrival Galatasaray in Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on 6 November 2002. [23] After firing Werner Lorant, they hired another German coach, Christoph Daum. Daum had previously coached in Turkey, winning the league with Beşiktaş J.K. in 1994-95. Fenerbahçe brought in players including Pierre van Hooijdonk, Mehmet Aurélio, and Fabio Luciano as a rebuilding process. These new players lead Fenerbahçe to their fifteenth title and third star.[24] The next year was followed up by a narrow championship over Trabzonspor, winning the then record of sixteen Turkish First Football League championships.[25] Fenerbahçe lost the title in the last week of the 2005-06 season to Galatasaray. Fenerbahçe needed a win, but instead drew 1-1 with Denizlispor while Galatasaray won 3-0 over Kayserispor. Soon after, Christoph Daum stepped down as manager,[26] and was replaced by Zico on July 4, 2006.[27] Zico began his reign by signing two new defenders, highly-touted Uruguayan international Diego Lugano, and fellow Brazilian Edu Dracena.[28][29] Zico also signed two strikers, Serbian international Mateja Kezman, and another Brazilian, Deivid.[30] Fenerbahçe's 2006-07 domestic season started off with a 6-0 win over relegation candidates Kayseri Erciyesspor.[31] In the 32nd week of the Turkcell Super League, Fenerbahçe drew Trabzonspor 2-2, while Beşiktaş J.K. lost to Bursaspor 0-3, putting the former out of contention for the title.[32][33] Fenerbahçe won their seventeenth Turkish Super League title in 2007, the most in Turkey.[34] Fenerbahçe started off their 2007–08 season by signing Brazilian international Roberto Carlos.[35] The deal saw the defender come for free after his contract was not extended by Real Madrid. Young Turkish players like Gökhan Gönül, Yasin Çakmak, İlhan Parlak, Ali Bilgin, Colin Kâzım-Richards and Turkish-Brazilian left back Wederson also joined Fenerbahçe in the beginning of the season. On 11 January 2007 Fenerbahce S.K. was officially invited to G-14.[36] G-14 is an association which is consisted of the top clubs around the world. Fenerbahçe S.K. is the first and only Turkish club that is invited to the association. It was said that G-14 first thought about inviting Galatasaray S.K. since they are the only Turkish club that won an European Cup (UEFA Cup 2000 and European Super Cup 2000). Since 2000 the arch-rivals Fenerbahçe S.K. improved clubs finances with facilites, bringing world stars to the club such as Kennet Andersson, Haim Revivo, Ariel Ortega, Serhiy Rebrov, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Alex de Souza, Stephen Appiah, Nicolas Anelka and lately Mateja Kežman and Roberto Carlos.

Historical players

When it first founded in 1907, Fenerbahçe had a small squad. One of these players, Galip Kulaksızoğlu, was the longest serving player of the original squad. He spent seventeen years at the club, retiring in 1924 after 216 matches.[38] Zeki Rıza Sporel was the first product of the Fenerbahçe youth system. During his eighteen year career with the club, Zeki scored 470 goals in 352 matches, or 1.3 goals every match.[38] Zeki was also capped for the Turkey national football team sixteen times, bagging 15 goals.[39] Cihat Arman became the first in a long-line of long-serving goalkeepers at Fenerbahçe. Cihat played twelve seasons with the club, playing in 308 matches.[38] Lefter Küçükandonyadis was one of the first predominant Turkish football players to play in Europe. Lefter spent two seasons in Europe, playing for ACF Fiorentina and OGC Nice before returning to Fenerbahçe. In all, Lefter scored 423 goals in 615 matches for the club, helping them to two Istanbul Football League titles, and three Turkish First Football League titles.[40] Another player, Can Bartu, became the next big Turkish export to Europe. He was also the first Turkish player to play in a European competition final, doing so with ACF Fiorentina against Rangers on January 1, 1961.[41] Can also spent some seasons playing for Venezia A.C. and S.S. Lazio before returning to Fenerbahçe in 1967. He was a four-time league champion with Fenerbahçe and scored 162 goals in 330 matches.[42] In recent decades, Fenerbahçe have gained an influx of foreigners who have helped the club to a record seventeen league titles. Among these include Uche Okechukwu, who after 13 seasons with Fenerbahçe and Istanbulspor became the longest serving foreigner in Turkey. During Uche's career with Fenerbahçe, he won two league titles and became a fan favourite.[43] In more recent times, Fenerbahçe has been the home to Mehmet Aurélio, who in 2006, became the first naturalized Turkish citizen to play for the Turkey national football team [44] also Wederson who have naturalized Turkish citizen to play for the Turkey national football team too.

Colours and badge

First badge.
First badge.

Since the club's foundation, Fenerbahçe used the same badge that underwent only minor variations. It was designed by Topuz Hikmet who played left wing in 1910 and was made by Tevfik Haccar (Taşcı) in London. The emblem consists of five colours. The white section which includes the writing Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü 1907 represents purity and open heartedness, the red section represents love and attachment to the club and symbolises the Turkish flag. The yellow middle section symbolises admiration and envy, while the navy symbolises nobility. The oak acorn leaf which rises from the navy and yellow section shows the power of Fenerbahçe. The green colour of the leaf shows the success of Fenerbahçe is imperative.[46] Topuz Hikmet describes the story of the emblem:

After the change of the club’s colours from yellow and white to yellow and navy, it was an issue to create an emblem with our new colours. My friends left the design of this emblem to me. Firstly, I brought together the colours of our national flag, red and white. Then drew a heart shape over the red and gave it a yellow and navy colour, adding an acorn leaf that represents resistance, power and strength. I wrote the club name and foundation date on the white section. When drawing our emblem, I tried to give this meaning: Serving the club with dependence from heart. The design was favored by my friends and our new emblem was made through the guidance of Tevfik Haccar, who was in Germany at time. After the new alphabet was approved, the design was protected, but the club name on the emblem was changed to Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü - 1907.[46]
