Turkey's dynamic forward who made a significant impact in the Premier League and became one of the most skilled Turkish footballers to play in England.
Tuncay was one of the most technically gifted Turkish footballers of his generation. He spent two seasons at Middlesbrough and Stoke in the Premier League, where his technical ability and finishing impressed. He scored 22 goals in 96 Turkey appearances and was part of the Turkish squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008 — one of the tournament's surprise packages.
Turkey's run to the Euro 2008 semi-final featured some of the most dramatic late comebacks in tournament history, with Tuncay central to the attacking threat.
