[edit] Club career
A freekick specialist, Yıldırım previously played for the Go Ahead Eagles and SC Heerenveen, with whom he had an outstanding debut season. In summer 2007 he transferred to Gaziantepspor and scored 3 goals for his team. During break-up the league, he moved on to title-challengers Sivasspor after claiming Gaziantepspor did not pay his wages for months.[1]
In 2005, Yıldırım participated in a free kick tournament held in Marbella, beating out players such as Zinedine Zidane.[2]
[edit] International career
Having both Turkish and Dutch citizenship, Yıldırım could have played for both the Netherlands and Turkey. He announced his decision to represent the Netherlands on January 22, 2005. On February 9 of that year, he played his first, and up to now only match for the Netherlands, a friendly against England.
