Say one thing for ol’ Boyd, he’s a trailblazer. Haven’t had an NZ-born footy player crack the top league in Portugal ever before and gonna have to assume he’ll be the first All White to play professionally in Turkey as well (at least until he changes affiliation to the USA if indeed that ever happens – eligible for both, his call, no dramas). Turkey… doesn’t really feel like the first country you’d necessarily wanna move to, global politics being what they are, but tell you what… they don’t skimp on the media budgets over there. Look at the creativity involved in this bad boy!
