Remembering Dato' Mokhtar Dahari (13 November 1953 - 11 July 1991)


Tomorrow (11 July 1991) will be 17 years Malaysian football without its icon : Mokhtar Dahari. He left us 17 years ago without a warning.

When his career hit its peak, Mokhtar Dahari was nicknamed "SuperMokh" and World Star Soccer magazine ranked him among the best player in Asia. Mokhtar played for Malaysia from 1972 till 1985.

And what happened to our Malaysian football after he left? Going downward. Today our national team is still struggling to beat teams like Cambodia and Laos.

No wonder we still miss him after so many years.
Al Fatihah.
