Along with then team-mate Gheorghe Hagi, he was a member of the UEFA Cup-winning Galatasaray side of 2000. He is remembered by supporters for his scoring in European competition that year, including his superb goals against Leeds United, one in which he danced past three of their defenders to score and help send his team to the final. He is also remembered for his penalty in Galatasaray's penalty shoot-out victory over Arsenal F.C. in the final.

Hakan currently plays for the Turkish club Galatasaray SK, having spent eight seasons with them in the 1990s. In 2000, he moved to Inter Milan (Italy) then spent short spells at Parma (Italy) and Blackburn Rovers (England) before rejoining Galatasaray SK in 2003.

In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Şükür's national team went all the way to the semifinals even though he was hopelessly out of form for most of the tournament. He finally showed a glimpse of his talent when, in the third-place game against South Korea, he scored the fastest goal ever in a World Cup finals match. İlhan Mansız forced a Korean defender into a blunder immediately off the opening kickoff, Şükür pounced on the free ball and put the ball into the Korean net after only 10.8 seconds. [2]

Hakan was capped for the 100th time in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ukraine. He is the third Turkish player, after Bülent Korkmaz and Rüştü Reçber, to receive this honor. All together Hakan has scored 218 Galatasaray SK goals.

Hakan's fame in Turkey is such that his 2002 wedding was televised live.
