United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Second chances are not a common thing in life, let alone the unforgiving game that is football.

 

Some might ask, 'How can you compare football and life?' and perhaps many would agree, but then there are those that think like the late Bill Shankly who once famously said, "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

BAFLI & YALOVA

Jem Djemal
Mustafa Djemal's association with Yalova Football Club, not to be mistaken with Yalova Spor Kulubu, extends a couple of generations.  The 54-year-old was part of the founding team back in 1976 and served the club as player and director over a 25 year spell.  Ironically nicknamed ‘BAFLI' as he actually hails from Paphos, he had no ties with Episkobi, the southern Cypriot village which Yalova represents.  In fact, up to around 4 or 5 years ago, he hadn't even been to visit the place!? 

 

BAFLI's ‘Yalova ties' began after he met wife-to-be in '74 and being the committed and passionate person that he is, he has made sure that his sons followed in his footsteps and served the club he loves so dearly.  All 3 of his sons have worn the famous yellow-and-blue kit with the eldest 2 now serving as Chairman and Coach.
