To Mr Yakup Ümit Kihtir
Turkish Deaf Sport Federation
President.
Dear Colleague,
The Deaf International Football Association – DIFA would have
learned with sadness and dismay the death by heart attack of Mr
HUSEYIN ER, Turkish deaf football icon. He played with distinction for
Turkey National Football Team and Saint John Deaf Football Club by
winning many international medals and trophies with Turkey and his
Club like Deaflympics, Deaf Football Champion League and European
Deaf Football Championships.
In this painful circumstance, the DIFA President and his Executive
Committee extend to the Turkish Deaf Sport Federation as well as the
family of the illustrious deceased, their sincere condolences to which
they associate the expression of their deepest compassion.
