Alright, let me tell you how I spent a chunk of my afternoon figuring out who banged in the most goals for Beşiktaş over the years. It started pretty randomly, actually. I was just thinking about old matches, classic players, you know how it goes. Then the question popped into my head: who’s the absolute top scorer for the Black Eagles?
So, first thing I did was grab my phone, opened up a browser. My first search was simple, something like “besiktas all time top goalscorers”. Got a bunch of results right away, lots of lists on different sports sites and fan pages. Looked easy enough at first glance.
But then I started clicking around. Found that some lists were slightly different from others. One site had one guy at the top, another had someone else, or the numbers were off by a few goals. And some lists only counted league goals, which isn’t really the all-time total, is it? I wanted everything – league, cups, European games, the whole lot.
That got me digging a bit deeper. I tried different search terms, like “besiktas most goals all competitions” and “hakkı yeten goals”. Hakkı Yeten’s name kept coming up as a real old-timer, like, way back. Finding exact numbers for players from that long ago? Tough job. Records weren’t always perfect back then, I guess.
Then there were the legends everyone knows. Names like Feyyaz Uçar, Metin Tekin, and Ali Gültiken – the famous Metin-Ali-Feyyaz trio. Feyyaz seemed to be the name mentioned most often for the top spot in the more modern era. I spent some time trying to cross-reference numbers from different places. Some fan forums had really detailed discussions, which was kinda helpful but also confusing sometimes.
My Findings on the Top Guys
After comparing a few sources that looked a bit more reliable, I started to get a clearer picture. Here’s roughly what I gathered:
- Hakkı Yeten: This guy is a massive club legend from way back. Often cited as the overall top scorer, but his era makes precise numbers hard to pin down across all game types. Still, everyone agrees he scored a mountain of goals.
- Feyyaz Uçar: He’s almost always listed right up there, especially if you’re looking at the more modern period. Definitely one of the most clinical finishers they’ve had.
- Metin Tekin & Ali Gültiken: These two, along with Feyyaz, formed that legendary attack. They scored loads of goals too and are always high on any list.
- Other Names: Players like Şeref Görkey, Bobô, and maybe even guys like Cenk Tosun or Demba Ba pop up when looking at more recent history or specific types of goals, but the top spots usually belong to Yeten and Uçar.
Getting the exact, official, verified number for everyone across every single friendly and cup match from decades ago? Pretty much impossible from just browsing online, I reckon. You see slightly different totals depending on who’s counting what.
But anyway, that was my little journey into the Beşiktaş history books. It took longer than I thought! It’s clear Hakkı Yeten and Feyyaz Uçar are the two main giants everyone talks about when it comes to goals. Was pretty interesting to see those names and remember some of the great players they’ve had.
