In 1974, Fenerbahçe had won four cups only in football, and many more in other branches. In honor of this, an official team anthem was recorded. It was mainly sung by Nesrin Sipahi, but the team coach Didi along with the 1973-1974 squad was also among the singers.[2] The anthem talks about the unmatched legendary status of Fenerbahçe, and some of its legendary players, with the line "Cihatlar..Lefterler..Canlar..Fikretler" being a reference to Cihat Arman, Lefter Küçükandonyadis, Can Bartu, Fikret Kırcan and Fikret Arıcan.
