Ayhan

Orhan Ayhan has made his mark in the Guinness Book of Records as the male sports commentator with the longest career in the world.

Ayhan, a prominent sports figure of Turkish state-run broadcaster TRT, began his career as a sports reporter and sportswriter in print media in 1957 and has been in the sports field for 61 years and 265 days at present.

A recent court indictment has revealed that  Mehmet Ali Ağca, the killer of journalist Abdi İpekçi and the perpetrator of failed assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II changed his surname to "Aslan," meaning "lion" in English.

An Istanbul court used the new surname of Ağca during a trial in which he faced 15 years in prison for looting.
