Bursaspor
Description
73. Bursaspor
We're joined by Uygar, Cafer and Fatih, three men from Bursa, to tell us the unique story of the rise, fall and revival of their club - Bursaspor.
In 2010, Bursaspor became only the second club not from Istanbul to win the Turkish Süper Lig title, a feat accomplished by fielding local players brought through their academy and with the fanatical drive of a united Bursa behind them.
Since then though, it's been far from plain sailing.
The club made headlines this season when, while in the 4th tier, they attracted a crowd of 45,000 fans to their ground, also famous for it's design which replicates a crocodile.
This episode dives into everything Bursaspor - from the club history, fan culture and title success, to the mismanagement and beginning of the rise back to the top.
