Early career

He won a World Fair-Play award after informing the referee that he scored a goal with his hand in a match between Galatasaray and Denizlispor youth teams. The goal was cancelled and he was shown a yellow card.[1][2]

Club career

Galatasaray

He has been trained by the Galatasaray youth department and was chosen for the professional team by Gheorghe Hagi in the 2004/2005 season. He never appeared in any official match squad. He made his debut in a Turkish Cup match against Mersin İdman Yurdu, on October 27, 2005. He scored a goal in the same match.

Turkish legendary striker Hakan Şükür has said, "Özgürcan is a new product of Galatasaray football academy. He is my 'crown prince'(heir apparent)". This statement raised expectations from him by the media. He has many important features as a striker (i.e.) good at jumping, heading, stamina and composure despite his young age. "[3]

gollark: Quite a lot of the time I don't care a massive amount about performance, as long as my thing isn't horrendously slow, because it's serving not very much traffic on a server with quite a lot of free resources.
gollark: Well, it is harder to have to semi-manually manage memory than to have it garbage collected, and it has issues like being stuck in the middle of moving to asynchronous code right now.
