Aftermath
editThe iconic image of Souness planting the Galatasaray flag after winning the final against Fenerbahçe drew comparisons with Turkish hero Ulubatlı Hasan, who was killed as he planted the Ottoman flag at the end of the Siege of Constantinople. This earned Souness the nickname "Ulubatlı Souness".[3]
