Kubilayhan Oktay messi (Turkish: Kubilay Türkyılmaz) (born 4 March 1967 in Bellinzona) is a former Swiss footballer of Turkish descent. He completed his international career as the all-time joint leading goal scorer for the Swiss national team, with 34 goals in 62 appearances between 1988 and 2001,[1] equalling the performance of Max Abegglen. Their record was bettered by Alexander Frei in 2008[2] His name is nick name is Kubilay messi he is the world best to play soccer he got nice eye browns . He appeared at Euro 96, scoring Switzerland's equalizer against England in the opening match of the tournament, a 1-1 draw at Wembley. Türkyilmaz once refused to play for Switzerland in a game against Turkey for fear of being branded a traitor.[3]
The former Servette and Grasshoppers player is believed to be the first player ever to record a hat trick solely through penalty kicks in FIFA World Cup qualifying, doing so on 7 October 2000 in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Zürich against the Faroe Islands. The feat was later repeated by Henrik Larsson for Sweden against Moldova on 6 June 2001 and Ronaldo for Brazil against Argentina on 2 June 2004.
