Career

society

Özkan started playing football in the Nişantaşı district of Istanbul and joined the Beşiktaş Istanbul youth department at the age of 16 . For the 1926/27 season he was included in the squad of the Beşiktaş 'football team. He came in this season in the game of İstanbul Ligi (dt. Istanbul League ) on November 12, 1926 against arch-rivals Fenerbahçe Istanbul to use and thus made his professional debut. Since there was no international professional league in Turkey at that time, regional leagues existed instead in metropolitan areas such as Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir , of which İstanbul Ligi (also called İstanbul Futbol Ligi) was considered the most renowned. In the further course of the season he completed three more league games. In his second season, the 1927/28 season , he was used in a league game despite his young age. Since the league was not continued in this season because of the 1928 Summer Olympics after two game days, Özkan could not complete any further games for his club during this season. In his third season he established himself as a regular player.

After he had remained without a title for seven seasons with his club, he was able to win the Istanbul championship with her in the 1933/34 season . Özkan contributed four goals to this success and formed a successful storm line with Şeref Görkey , Eşref Bilgiç and Hakkı Yeten . Despite this first title, Özkan and his team did not win the title for the next four seasons. It was not until the 1938/39 season that he and his team won the championship of the Istanbul Football League. In the following four years Özkan's team managed to defend their title in the Istanbul championship four times. As a result, the team broke several league records. In addition, the Milli Küme was won in the 1940/41 season , a kind of championship in which the teams from the three cities of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir participated. Özkan was part of the team in the first three of these championships and was one of the key performers in the first two seasons. It was not until the 1940/41 season that he lost his regular place and only played one game. He ended his career at the end of the season.

National team

Özkan began his national team career in 1932 with a commitment for the Turkish national team in the game against the Hungarian national team . With this encounter he completed his first international match and only international match. By 1936 he completed two more international matches and scored one goal.
