Neatly combining my side dishes of football and the idyllic Istanbul mahalle of Kuzguncuk
(see under A sporting medley, including Futbol in Turkey, then and now;
posts on Kuzguncuk are listed here, with more here)…
This outline of the amateur Knc Yapı Kuzguncuk Spor Kulübü offers a blunt appraisal, which I’m tempted to adapt for my own CV:
Ability 0%
Potential 0%
The team’s average attendance of 100 also reminds me of Philomena Cunk‘s “the sort of viewing figures BBC4 still dreams of”.
Despite all this, the plucky Kuzguncuk side seems to be doing really well, and is clearly THE club to follow—roll over Fenerbahçe (now cajoled by Mourinho the Morose One)!
