DURSUN ÖZBEK: "HE WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR MEMORIES"

Making a speech at the funeral ceremony, Galatasaray Sports Club President Dursun Aydın Özbek emphasized Prekazi's place in the club's history and said:

"I had the opportunity to watch Prekazi as a football player. He was one of the important players and legends of Galatasaray. The victories he brought to us still live in everyone's memory. I am very sorry. He came to Istanbul frequently in the last three or four years. I invited him; he came to our matches and visited me as well. He was very happy with Galatasaray's successes in the last four or five years. He expressed this to me many times. He even came to Istanbul again three or four months ago, and we met then. He also had criticisms from time to time. He would share his thoughts with me by saying, 'This is my president, this is my president'. He was one of the players who became an icon in Galatasaray and never broke off their relationship with Galatasaray. I am very sorry that he passed away at a young age, but I wish God's mercy on him and rest in peace for his family.
