The photo used in the card is as far as I remember from the 1949-50 season when Beşiktaş defeated Fenerbahçe 1-0 and became the champion. A giant poster of this photo is hanged in Inönü Stadium Store and the title is ‘Being a BJK fan’

He is rumored to be effective in helping the flourishing of the group but now they are too much and Mr. Yıldırım is rumored to be supporting another emerging group. News in Turkish here, here and here.
