Top Scorer (Gol Kralı) (translated)

Kartal Tibet directed Gol Kralı ("Top Scorer"), a 1980 Turkish comedy adapted from Aziz Nesin's novel of the same name and released on 1 November 1980. Kemal Sunal takes the lead. It was shot in colour on 35 mm. Memduh Ün produced it for Uğur Film, and Orhan Oğuz was the cinematographer.

Sait Sarıoğlu (Kemal Sunal) finds the love he has been looking for while walking down the street: he falls for football fan Sevim Ferferik (Suna Yıldızoğlu) at first sight. Her family is delighted to have found a rich and fun-loving son-in-law. But a football comes between the engaged pair. Sevim's passion for the game draws Sait to it, and, to win her over, he decides to become a successful player. Her mockery only feeds his determination, and he will not give up despite badly impaired eyesight. His path leads through coaches, stadiums and the big clubs, and he ends up top scorer. Suzan Avcı plays Meçhure, Reha Yurdakul plays Hasip Ferferik and Mete Sezer plays coach Thompson.

The cast also includes Gülnur Akay, Hüseyin Kutman, Mürüvvet Sim, Gölge Başar and Yavuz Şimşek. The script is credited to Osman F. Seden, Memduh Ün, Kartal Tibet and Bülent Oran.
