The three had been recruited in relatively young ages as Tekin and Gültiken joined the squad as youth players.[8] The trio had achieved numerous glories, and various notable scores in domestic competitions. They contributed the only three-in-a-row title achieving term of club history in 1989–90, 1990–91 and 1991–92 seasons. Most notably, Beşiktaş became the first undefeated champion in Turkish League history.[9][10]

The three had taken a part in the squad of historical match against Adana Demirspor, ended 10-0 in favour of Beşiktaş, as the highest margin ever scored in Turkish First League history, in 15 October 1989.[11] They scored all the goals, in which Gültiken put 4, Tekin and Uçar put 3 goals away.[12] Started on Week 26 of 1990-91 season, the unbeaten record of the team lasted for 48 straight matches, until Week 13 of 1992-93 season.[13][14]

During a post-retirement interview, Tekin expressed that he was first a Galatasaray supporter in his childhood, influenced by his father, however; he later changed his preference for Beşiktaş.[15]
