Sukur is currently struggling to make ends meet in the US, working various jobs, including driving for Uber. |
Sukur needed only 11 seconds to score against South Korea at the 2002 World Cup, also the fastest goal in the tournament's history. This lightning-fast moment helped Türkiye secure third place and made Sukur an immortal icon of Turkish football.
During his prime, Sukur was a nightmare for every European defense while playing for Galatasaray. His positioning, clinical finishing, and killer instinct earned him the title of one of the greatest strikers in Turkish history.
However, after retiring, the life of the "Lion King" took a completely different turn. Leaving the pitch and the spotlight, Sukur experienced many upheavals that dramatically changed his life. From the status of a World Cup legend, he had to start from scratch in a foreign land.
In rare glimpses into his life, Sukur revealed that he worked various jobs to make a living in the US, including driving for Uber in California. The image of a former football star who once brought glory to the nation now quietly earning a living as a driver has saddened many fans.
Nevertheless, for football fans, the name Sukur will always be associated with the memory of a deadly striker in the penalty area. He created an immortal moment in just 11 seconds, something that World Cup history is unlikely to repeat.
