Rival supporter brings Olympic honor to Beşiktaş midfielder
ISTANBUL
The incident that brought him the award took place during a pre-match ceremony of the Istanbul derby between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe on April 4, 2015.
A 6-year-old boy wearing a Fenerbahçe jersey for the customary pre-kick-off ceremony was holding Uysal’s hand and walking to the center of the pitch when suddenly he began crying and asking Uysal, “I am for Fenerbahçe but have I become a Beşiktaş supporter now by holding your hand?”
Uysal calmed the boy down by saying it was he who had actually become the Fenerbahçe supporter by holding his hand.
