Launch of sports encyclopedia

(From left) former track queen Datuk M. Rajamani, middle-distance king R. Subramaniam
and his successor, M. Ramachandran



Renowned publisher Editions Didier Millet is of course named after this French gentleman, Didier. If he's a footy fan, I'm sure he would love to condemn Domenech to the guillotine. The gentleman in the yellow suit is National Art Laureate, Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal


The only Malaysian to have enjoyed VIP status in both FIFA and IOC,

Tan Sri Hamzah Abu Samah


Datuk Ho Koh Chye (left) and his former boss, Datuk Noh Abdullah


Recently conferred the Tunship is the volume editor, Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid, president of Malaysian Lawn Bowls Federation, and deputy president of Malaysian Malays Cricket Association


Datuk Sharifah Mazlina Syed Kadir and P.C. Shivadas


Malaysian Gymnastics Federation president Prof Datuk Zakaria Ahmad (left) and Tan Sri Dr M. Mahadevan


Supermokh's widow, Tengku Zarina Tengku Ibrahim and Tn Haji Bakri Ibni


Former MAAU president Datuk Khalid Yunus and Raja Bola, Datuk Abdul Ghani Minhat


Soft-spoken and friendly off the track, but one tough runner on it, that's Rama for you

Is Olympic Council of Malaysia secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi bracing for changes?


I love Santokh Singh's free-kicks taken by using the outsteps of his boots during the bygone era


Tuan Haji Bakri Ibni scored the opening goal for Malaysia in the famous 2-1 victory over South Korea in the pre-Olympics match that guaranteed us a ticket to Moscow Olympics in 1980 but etched in most people's mind is the winning goal scored by the gangly James Wong

Ah saudara, dah pandai captioning? :)

How we miss the real football superstars of yesteryears. The ones who were really proud of the national jersey. Sekarang jersey dah mahal, main lagi teruk.

Anyway, perhaps a post on football jerseys in the future? But not too much on French ones eh...
