Football to sleep

As Ilkay started playing football from a young age, he started growing love for the game. He started carrying the ball he used to play with him everywhere he went. 

He even took the football with him to his bed and slept with it. It is just adorable to imagine.

The yard

Ilkay started playing football everywhere he got the chance and even in the backyard of his parent's house, and slowly it became commonplace for all the neighborhood children to gather and play football together as there was a garage in their yard, and they used to use the garage entrance as their goal post. 

Smallest person on field

Ilkay was always the smallest person on the field when he played football when he was young as he always used to play with people older than him. 

He said that there were always people bigger than him, and as he was the smallest, it made it more challenging for him, and that is where he learned to assert himself. 

Tribute

Once Ilkay was injured and couldn't play, all of his teammates decided to pay him a tribute. All of them wore the same jersey as Ilkay with his number and name. 

He was in great confusion when everyone walked out with his jersey, and later he made sure to his fans that he was not dead which he meant as a joke.
