Chookes 21 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Veteran playmaker Tugay will leave Blackburn at the end of the season. The former Galatasaray star, 38, who won 94 caps for Turkey, joined Rovers from Rangers for £1.3m in 2001. Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce said: "We will say farewell at the end of the season and thank you very much for what you have done for Blackburn. "Tugay has had a fantastic career, but the ever-increasing physical demands of the Premier League mean you cannot go on forever." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/8028929.stm What a talent he was. I still can't believe how old he is though, turning 39 in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Class act who strutted his stuff for 5-6 seasons after he left us in the EPL, Advocaat should have been sacked for letting that man go, diabolical decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 He looks like he's 49! Great player, who still has the ability to play in the Premiership. £1.3m, what a bargain Blackburn got there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 He was the player for us I hoped Mendes would be. Tugay hardly ever turned it on for us. He was good when he left, but I had no qualms about him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
