Football career

Being raised in the ranks of Akçaabat Sebatspor youth academy, he soon attracted the interests of sports authorities in Trabzon. His excellent playmaking and dribbling skills, and his ability to use both feet and flanks proved him an excellent prospect. He was transferred to Trabzonspor youth academy, and soon signed a professional contract, however, then-coach Şenol Güneş never gave him a chance to play for the senior team. He was soon loaned out to his hometown team of Akçaabat Sebatspor.[1] There he became the favourite of the local fans and spent 2,5 years helping the team's success. In the summer of 1998, he signed a contract with Elazığspor who then played in Türk Telekom League A. Without being able to play a single official game for the team, he got another offer from A. Sebatspor. He mutually terminated his contract with Elazığspor, given the promise by A. Sebatspor board of directors that they would compensate Elazığspor's financial loss. They never did. Angered by this move, Elazığspor set an astronomical fee for Erman, although his contract was ended. Until Bosman rule came into effect in Turkey, Erman was not able to sign with any professional football clubs who showed an interest for his skills. Feeling betrayed by both teams, he distanced himself from professional football that showed him its dark side. When he was eventually freed from his contract burden, he was already out of hopes and will for playing professional again.

Academic career

Erman Öncü started his academic career at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Karadeniz Technical University while still playing football. He left the department for studying Physical Education which would be more compatible with his football career. After completing his degree in Physical Education at Karadeniz Technical University in 1999, he became a research assistant at the same department teaching undergraduate classes. He left for Gazi University, Ankara for doctoral studies in 2003 where he published several articles. Coming back to Trabzon with a Ph.D. in Physical Education, he gained his tenure at the School of Physical Education and Sports, Karadeniz Technical University in 2008. Currently he is teaching the undergraduate courses of Sports Psychology, Sports Philosophy and the Olympic Spirit, Football, Football Teaching Methods and Sports Administration and Organization. His research interests focus around sports psychology and football. He has published several scholarly articles and participated national academic panels and conferences.
