Burhaneddin Beadini — Biography

Burhaneddin Beadini was born on 30 March 1955 in Tetovo, then part of Yugoslavia and now in North Macedonia. Coming from an ethnic Albanian family, he built his playing career in Yugoslav and Turkish football before eventually settling in Turkey, where he obtained citizenship and continued his career as a domestic-status player in the Süper Lig.

He is remembered as one of the longest-serving foreign-born players in Eskişehirspor's history, and after retiring as a defender he went on to work as a football manager. His younger brother, Naser Beadini, also played professionally for Samsunspor, making football something of a family pursuit for the Beadinis.
