Hüsamettin Böke (10 April 1910 — 26 December 1995) was a Turkish footballer and referee, who played as a goalkeeper.
Böke began his career at Vefa SK, playing for the club for seven seasons. 1932, Böke joined Fenerbahçe.[1] On 24 February 1934, during a match against rivals Galatasaray at the Taksim Stadium, Böke was involved in a fight causing the abandonment of the game. The February 1934 clash is widely regarded as the spark of the present day rivalry.[2] During his time at Fenerbahçe, Böke started in the 1933 Turkish Football Championship final, keeping a clean sheet in an 8–0 win against İzmirspor. In 1935, Böke started in a 3–1 final win against Altınordu.[3] For the final two seasons of his career, Böke returned to Vefa, making 11 appearances.[1]
