Alpay - your memories

[john e]

I thought he'd died when I saw the title of the thread.

Yep, the good World Cup he had went to his head. He was quite good before that.

Ha ha, I thought the same ( about the dying thing I mean )

Is my recollection correct that he scored a very late own goal to deny us our only home win against Man Yew in the last 19 years? Possibly on the same day Bosko the Balaban ventured out of the dugout for his home debut, fell over, limped off and was rarely seen again?

Yes you're right mate. 2001-2002. Home debuts for Mellberg, Schemeichel, Kachloul.

Tw*t. C*nt. Kn*b. W*nk*r.

Agree with all the foregoing. Total ubertwat. Moreover caused me to have heated words with a guy I have stood and sat behind for fifty years most amicably. We disagreed on his degree of arseholeness but agreed he certainly was one.

Ah! That Charlton game!
It was the only time I have been in hospitality at a football match,(thanks Carlube) I was with a couple of mates and another carlube customer, a Charlton fan, and his girlfriend.
I told everyone to bet on Alpay for 1st scorer but said it would be for Charlton not us. Then he did his hush bit and has been widely known as an arsehole since.
A legend in his own mind.

the only time I have booed at anything Villa was when Alpay scored (against Charlton was it?) when he ran to the crowd with his hand to his ear, what a jump jockey.

Spent most of the time injured only to "recover" in time to play for Turkey, if look up twat in the dictionary, you will find his picture.

It was a finger-to-the-lips shhhhhhhhhhhhh... the wanker.

[Witton Warrior]

Got enough quotes yet mate?

;-)

Well let me be the first one to call him a wan, erh, an arseh, oh, erm, a cun, no, ...kevin, mate, if you didn't know before you do now.

I like Carlube more than I like Alpay and I don't even know what a Carlube is

his dead to me, the twat

[MorrisNielson]

Thinking back, he was unveiled before a home Intertoto match at The Hawthorns alongside Dave Ginola (the Celta Vigo ‘ref-gate’ match I think).
Alpay replaced big Ugo which was no mean feat in itself, and was an improvement on what was already a pretty good defence.
Later, he started what seemed to be a promising partnership with Mellberg but missed the last half of the season through injury and just about made the World Cup. 
He probably played more games in the month of the 2002 World Cup than the whole of that calendar year for Villa.

He was the only player I remember who told the fans what song he wanted them to sing - Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole, Alpay, Alpay!

Good player until the world cup then went off the rails.

Nice read about Kachloul by the way
