Football Association of Malaysia...

Malaysia Soccer Team never really get back to time of their prime period ('60s,'70s,'80s)... Right now, Malaysia rank 156 of the world ranking... what a shame...

here is a little bit of history of Football Association of Malaysia ;

Early 1920's
in 1926, the first foundation stone for the Football Association of Malaya (FAM) was laid before it was officially founded as a national body in 1933.


First Malaysia Prime Minister - FAM President
In 1951, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj - the first Prime Minister of Malaysia - became the President.


The New Era of Modernization and Professionalism
His Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah was integral in the growth of football in the new era with the introduction of the semi-pro league in 1989 before the game went fully professional several years later.
Among the high points in Malaysian football under His Royal Highness was the successful hosting of the World Youth Cup in 1997 as well as the organization of the Premier League, which is to be called the Super League in 2004.

Maradona...

Diego Armando Maradona (born Oct 30, 1960) is an Argentina former football player. He played in 4 Different World Cups and received the FIFA award for best footballer of the 20th century, after being voted in an international fan poll organized by FIFA in 2000 to choose the best football player of all time.

Maradona had a compact physique and could withstand physical pressure well. His strong legs and low center of gravity gave him an advantage in short sprints.

One of Maradona's trademark moves was Dribbing full-speed as a left wing, and on reaching the opponent's goal line, delivering lethally accurate passes to his teammates. Another trademark was the Rabona, a reverse-cross pass shot behind the leg that holds all the weight. He was also a dangerous Free Kick taker.

For me, Maradona is the king of Fotballer... Compare to Pele, i think Maradona is ahead of Pele in every part of fthe game (please don't compare personal life)...

Career statistics
Club
His overall average of goals scored per match in domestic club competitions is 0.53.

34 goals in 91 app for Argentina (1977-1994)
21 matches for Argentina in 4 World Cups (1982, 1986, 1990, 1994)

Tied for second-highest goal-scorer from Argentina in World Cup finals (surpassed by Gabriel Batistuta in 1998)
