Strange question for you all. Do you know who the guy who walks round Fethiye with a pair of canvas shoes under his arm and asks you if you want your shoes shining is? He seems a really nice bloke and always has 5 minutes for a chat with you?
-
His name is Hadji. He isn't back yet.
-
Who is he? Does he live locally?
-
He lives in east Turkey for winter(Kars)summer in Fethiye :)

Looking at pikkies of Haci. Thought what a fantastic one the sitting doewn one was. No surprise it was yetkins pikky. Fantastic.
BYW, there is actually a Haci group on Facebook now. Fame!
-
Hagi which if I remember is on the back of his shirt and is a rumanian footballer who played and managed at Galatasaray and also managed at Bursapor.
I think that maybe a Galatasaray shirt, are you sure thats his name?

His name is definitely Haci. And I found him on youtube with his fellow galatasaray supporters, giving it welly. I think he's rather proud he's on the net.
-
Whats the link for youtube?
-
I think these are the two links. I hope they still work. I can't check from here

Good to see he's kept hold of his shoes!!! ;)
-
And to think they might have Tink joining their ranks shortly. :)
-
Hmm, I have a photo of Haci and it does say Hagi. On Facebook he is called Haci. So, I am confused.....
Can there be 2 ways to spell it?
-
What ? Tinx is going to be a shoeshine boy ? : :)
-
Hagi (Romanian) Famous footballer and previous manager of Galatasary
Haci (Turkish) Famous shoe shiner and Galatasaray fan
Both pronounced Har-jee :)

Was in Fethiye last october wearing a pair of light tan slip ons and a dark brown belt. Saw a belt in a shop that matched the shoes perfectly so went in and bought it. An hour later I am eating near the duck pond when Haci comes round looking for work so I gave him my shoes.Ten minutes later back he comes with my shoes buffed up dark brown!! Gave my friends a great laugh that did. But he is a smashing wee bloke!
-
Ah, thanks for that Scunner. Mystery cleared up. And Ron, the same thing happened to my husband's shoes. And yes, he IS a smashing wee bloke.
-
Ah...
Nice to see the shoe shine man again, never knew his name...
always try to use him on our last day, then we pack the shoes away for next year in Calis and hey they are all shiny and new when we arrive!!!

I used to hate him at first but now I think he's hilarious!
-
Ooh, why did you hate him??
-

-
Yes he has got a fierce face when he's not smiling. And he doesn't smile much. But a good man!
-
have just been talking to him, he is very proud and happy that he is on the internet.. he was aware of this thread.
-
A real guenuine character - unobstrusive and polite with it
-

-
Yup, saw him at the weekend, walking along the harbour, says he just got back, not yet working ! - DIDNT have his football shirt on.....but smart leather jacket ! It took him about half an hour to walk five yards because everyone knows him and wants to shake his hand ! Great guy
-
I agree a very nice man but there is another shoe shine man down by the yakamoz very polite and funny. He charges 3Tl not 5 like Hadji. He has been there most of the Winter.
