He belongs to an era when football was glorified by the masses and the Malaysian team was feared and respected by countries near and far.

Wong Hung Nung is well-remembered as the doughty, tough-tackling fullback in the golden age of local football belonging to a luminary backline that included the likes of Datuk Soh Chin Aun, Datuk Santokh Singh and Datuk Jamal Nasir.
