Is Hagi not the nice man I think he is ?
Hagi used to be called "the uncle", and he put the shoe shine kids up with somewhere to live,i'm not in a position to say how good or bad he was,I could write a book on Nesim, he had evry football kit in the prem division and Rangers, Celtic, you name it,he also had alot of toys, we bought him a new bike over one year and he came back and asked for the receipt on his old one, obviously going to sell it,so we took the new one back off him,but gave it to him before we went home,he grew up very streetwise, which is understandable, but as he grew he lost his charm ,we used to bring warm clothes and boots over for him to take to his family in the winter,hard to believe when your basking in the Calis sunshine,but he was from east Turkey and said it was a very cold place,he would sit with us till 3 in the morning and then come down and have a breakfast the next day, then sleep on the sunbed until it was time to go to work,but he would always take off his new clothes and put the old ones back on ,he said he must look poor when he works,but trust me he made more money than most of the waiters did,apparently he works in Hison now,and has a few children of his own, but is now divorced,he was never allowed in the pool at the Mutlu, some people let him in and others never,and when you think how young he was its no wonder he became the little shyster he did,
