"We Refuse To Know Our Place" | Trabzonspor | Once In a Lifetime

Football, more than any other sport, is about sharing stories. Stories about places, stories about people, stories about culture.
And so as the last decade has seen an unprecedented dominance of a select few ‘big’ clubs winning almost every trophy available, we have missed out on those new stories that football so brilliantly tells.
So last season we sent Eli Mengem on a journey, to document the few ‘smaller’ clubs who somehow did have a chance at winning something, in order to share the new stories we’ve all been missing out on.
From the south of Spain to the north of Turkey to the south west of Germany, Once in a lifetime is a new series telling the story of three very different clubs made up of three very different people, in three very different places, that all share one thing in common. A very long wait to win something.
For Episode 2, we headed to Trabzon, home to Trabzonspor, the only non Istanbul team who had the audacity to consistently compete with the big Turkish clubs on and off the pitch.
With the club on the verge of winning their first 'official' title in 38 years, we headed to the city on the week of the deciding game. What we came across was a story, a fanbase, and a match day atmosphere that was as memorable as anything we have ever come across.
This is Once In a Lifetime.
Welcome to COPA90 Stories, a brand new channel exploring the greatest footballing stories from across the planet.

Outstanding documentary. full of emotions and full of rubbish. a lot of incorrect information. 1. when Trabzonspor was promoted to the first division, already a lot? ... Trabzon Mafia did an excellent job... when TS won the titles, there were 5 black sea teams (75 seasons).. worked all for Trabzon. matches were fixed. 76-77 season 7 teams were from the black sea region and were all 'friendly' match fixes. Later when Trabzonspor forgot how they won the league, all these teams turned against Trabzonspor and never lost as easily as before, even some of the teams become enemies of Trabzonspor. Match fixings always came from this region. pls check the Akcabat sebatspot adventure of top league. And then, Trabzon Spor wanted to copy what Istanbul teams do: Extremely high transfer costs. Mehmet Ali Yilmaz's presidency. Tranzon is a small town, never had any financial power, even on those years never had economical weight. The city's life is pending only for people who are moved to Istanbul and who has underground power. The club was in a deep fiscal crisis just back in 2-3 years, bankrupt normally... who cleared all these debts? a minister from the government, transferred some money under the table, is it legal? This documentary one sided good documentary. Tranzon Spor just another rubbish professional football club. The unfair picture is giving is, when they mentioned Istanbul clubs are BAD... just one comment for this: IF Istanbul tams pull out of TV deals, and set up own live broadcasting system, they will have the 90% (not less but could be even more) broadcasting of the revenue. Full stop. out side of Tranzon spor, rest of the so called Anatolian clubs, run by whom? just look at them, except few, all run by black money, match fixers.... conclusion: Last season was also fixed season. all Istanbul teams were punished with poor refeing decisions, versus, there never any referee issues were in Trabzon Spor matches. if you don't believe ask uncle GOOGLE... a small search will provide you all the information. Tranbzon Spor was as rubbish as any other team last year but protected. sorry this is the only truth rest is emotions demagogies....

Even when I went to Istanbul some years ago, still I couldn’t find a reason to support one from Fener, GS or Besiktas. By that time I was already aware of Trabzon decades long waiting for a title. So it was like so obvious I need to support them! And getting to know so much more from this brilliant movie (it’s a movie, yes, simply amazing), I’m sure I’ve made the right choice! And I can’t wait to visit that great city with such wonderful, bit though people! Last - in the summer I went on a vacation in Antalya. Travelled by car and when we stopped in the middle of Turkey, far away from Trabzon - the second car I saw was in claret with Sampion written all over it! What a story it is.. what a story..

During the "Great Potato Famine" in Ireland 1845-1849 the Sultan of the Ottoman empire sent a large amount of aid to Ireland ( he wanted to send more but he was told not to because then he would be sending more than Queen Victoria and this would be considered a snub and their might have been repercussions for the ottomans) the aid arrived in the town of Drogheda. Centuries later this unlikely friendship between the town of Drogheda and the nation of Turkey is still alive. Particularly in football when Drogheda United needed a bailout they received it from Turkish businessmen, they are sponsored by Turkish Airlines and they by chance have the same colours as trabzon and when the internet became popular Drogheda fans and Trabzon fans put this story together and pushed the clubs to become sister clubs Drogheda sells a considerable number of jerseys in turkey every year🇮🇪🇹🇷🇮🇪🇹🇷🇮🇪🇹🇷🇮🇪🇹🇷🇮🇪

I'm not from Trabzon, I'm from Giresun the neighbor city of Trabzon and I live in İstanbul and I was born in İstanbul however I didn't choose any of the İstanbul teams to support, I chose Trabzonspor because my father who is also a Trabzonspor fan told me about how Trabzonspor gained its championships, how it rebelled to İstanbul hegamonia. I grew up in İstanbul and when I was a little kid my schoolmates were all İstanbul teams fans, they had the best players, and they got the trophies but I never leaved Trabzonspor even if I was a little child who just want to see victories, trophies and celebrations. I just waited until now, until I became 25 and I will never give up. Trabzonspor is a symbol of standing up for me even if I'm alone, following the right path even if nobody is with me.

Liverpool fan. This is a wonderful video. To be honest I couldn't believe the scandal and match fixing that went down in that 2010/2011 season. I'm guessing the reason why that big president guy wasn't thrown in prison permanently and also why Fenerbahce weren't sanctioned heavily was because he must have had close ties with people in high places.

President Erdoğan is the Member of Fenerbahçe's High Council Board. He was honered by Fenerbahçe's president Ali Koç with a plate due to his 25 cumulative years of membership. So no surprise that they're still considered the champions of 2010-11! Despite the fact that the UEFA kicked Fenerbahçe out of Europe for 3 years. And the CAS and Swiss Federal Court approved the UEFA's decisions.

In the doubtful year (2010-2011) a Trabzonspor supporter watched the Eskişehir-Trabzonspor match, one of the suspicious matches, came home and had a heart attack after saying to his wife, "They will not allow us to be champions again". After losing the championship at the last minute in 1996, a Trabzonspor fan hanged himself and left a note saying, "No one is responsible for my death. If I come to the world again, I will be a trabzonspor fan again". That's why there is a saying: "Trabzonspor is the life of those who gave it their life" Thanks for this beautiful documentary.

Nothing to glorify, you should promote the reality of the fact that even thought a title might not come for decades, it's a god damn ball, sport. No person should ever get depressed about the results, let alone kill himself over a title. TS is one of the 4 biggest club, the reality, it's baseless to claim as if you are underdogs and your deserved titles are stolen. If anything, FB lost way too many titles, very close ones...this is all insane emotional BS, sorry but nobody nobody should feel sad as to depress himself. As a FB fan, i saw our 2006 title in denizli stolen by GS, we lost another title at home to Bursa at the hands of last match against Trabzonspor. We lost many others in past 25 years where we were heavy favorites. You guys are biased and making it look as if TS means justice which is all hype and BS

After seeing this documentation about Trabzonspor I really can understand. Because, in a sense, I can exectly feel what these people do and did. I am a supporter of Schalke 04, German Club. the passion, the stolen history, the city not only crazy for the team but live it, its our life, the area we where born, poor city, coal mining made us. We've won the championship last in 1958, got "robbed" of it in 2001 - we where champions for 4 Minutes, because everybody thougt all other games where already over but in this Game in the overtime Bayern Munich scored last second and took our championship. But what got me teared eyed is more recent, just this season. The end of this video. since then Schalke 04 had its up and downs and lately more downs then ever, we relegated to the second Leauge last season after 30 years, everybody thought it could not go up from here since there was so much bullshit involved. Some scandals, completely new team, new executive, many debts. but then second last game could decide it all, if we won against St. Pauli we would be promoted to first leauge again. It was such a intense game and in the end we won 3-2. It was insane, and the exacty same thing happened, we cut the net of the goal, ripped out grass of the pitch, huge pitch invasion, crying in strangers arms, praying in the ground with a scarf or flag infront and all that stuff. It was unreal. So this video really reminded me of our own club. and I loved it, got me a lil Trabzonspor fan myself.

If Schalke were run properly by competent businessmen then the club would've stabilized itself as a top team like Dortmund have become in the last decade as Schalke have a brilliant academy and fan base but wasted its potential by incompetence off the pitch. I hope this wonderful club (along with Hamburg SV) rise to become a competitive force at least, even if they don't win the Bundesliga.

I've been to Turkiye twice in 2022 (never visited previously), and Trabzon is now on my list for a future visit. The passion and attitude, mixed with the eerie fog and un-Turkish weather is a very unique vibe. Hopefully I can catch a game while I'm there too!

If you come here, don't forget this message. When you come here, give me transportation and we will help you to tour the city and arrange tickets if you come across a match.

@@saa5627 respect - that's exactly the type of hospitality that makes me love your country 👊🏻

I assume that you have been at the Tourist areas but Central/Eastern Anatolia and the Black Sea coast are not like the Aegean or Mediterranean Region. You should check out Trabzon, Rize and Artvin in the winter time. Extremely beautiful.

@@Siqipilaci I am going to visit Georgia at some point, and I have a plan about exiting or entering near Batumi - allowing me to travel along the Turkish Black Sea Coast and see some of the places that you mentioned

9:42 I can't help but smile when I see that 😂 even the bank knows people are crazy for Trabzonspor

Went to Turkey last year and now this makes me wanna go back. Definitely visiting Trabzon and will try to watch a game in the stadium. What a passionate city. Congrats on the title

I once bought some claret and blue worry beads in Istanbul back in 95, because my team is Burnley FC. I asked the street vendor, what are the colours about. He said Trabzon football club. So that is why I'm watching this right now. It seems Trabzonspor and Burnley have a lot in common. Working class, passionate, underdogs, punching way beyond their weight. In the rain in the fog. Lot in common. I was born in 61. Trabzon is my Turkish team. I wish you all the best.

I just saw your message. If we become champions again, I would like to host you in that championship match.
