List of Göztepe S.K. seasons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Göztepe was founded on 14 June 1925 in the Göztepe/Güzelyalı quarter of İzmir after a split from Altay; the inaugural meeting adopted the club's traditional red and yellow colours and a striped shirt as the first kit.[1] In 1937 the football branch merged with İzmirspor and Egespor under the name Doğanspor; some İzmirspor members opposed the move and formed Ateşspor in 1938. The team soon reverted to the Göztepe name (formally confirmed by a members' vote in 1940).[2][3] The club's greatest era came under coach Adnan Süvari (1963–71): Göztepe won back-to-back Turkish Cups in 1969 and 1970 and the Presidential/Super Cup in 1970, and made deep European runs (1968–69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup semi-final; 1969–70 Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final).[4][5] The core XI of that side is still celebrated by supporters: Ali Artuner; Mehmet "Junior" Işıkal; Çağlayan Derebaşı; Hüseyin Yazıcı; Mehmet "Senior" Aydın; Nevzat "English" Güzelırmak; Nihat Yayöz; Ertan Öznur; Fevzi Zemzem; Gürsel Aksel; Halil Kiraz.
