Sait Altınordu

According to Nimet, Altınordu's wife, he used to train by himself at the Alsancak Stadium, practicing his shooting abilities. According to Erdoğan Sungur, an İzmir-based author who saw Altınordu play live, Altınordu was capable of "making feints, producing 'delicious' shots, and having a 'great' football intelligence."

Altınordu was the role model of Metin Oktay, a prolific goalscorer for both Galatasaray and the Turkish national team. The youth and academy facilities of Altınordu S.K., located in Yeşilyurt County, are named in Altınordu's honor. In 2016, one of the 15 newly launched ferries of İzmir was named after Altınordu following an online-public poll. A statue of Altınordu was opened in front of Alsancak Terminal, İzmir, on 27 December 2014, to commemorate the 91st anniversary of Altınordu S.K.'s founding. The statue depicts the moment of Altınordu taking the winning shot against Eskişehir Demirspor during the 1935 Turkish Football Championship semi-final game. Despite the rivalry between their clubs, Altınordu and Vahap Özaltay, who was an Altay S.K. icon, were best friends.

Altınordu S.K. İzmir Football League (6): 1926–27, 1931–32, 1934–35, 1935–36, 1939–40, 1944–45
