Tolgay Arslan's Adidas adiZero F50 match worn boots. This special made to
measure boots were worn during the season 2013/2014 with Hamburger SV. Both
boots are personalized with "THE LION 18" and "ARSLAN". Arslan was born in
Paderborn to Turkish parents from Çorum; his father, a real estate agent, moved
to Germany when he was 11 years old. He began playing football at the age of
six, when his father brought him along to watch Grün-Weiß Paderborn play.
Arslan began his career with the local club. Patterning his game around Zinedine
Zidane and Gheorghe Hagi, Arslan earned a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2003.
After several years in Dortmund's youth team, Arslan moved to Hamburger SV.
