THIS year marks the 50th anniversary of the historic bronze medal-winning feat by the Malaysian national football team at the Asian Games in Teheran, Iran, in 1974.
It was a golden year for Malaysian football. The squad emerged third at the Asian Games – the best-ever achievement by Harimau Malaya. And they did it by beating North Korea 2-1 – with a brace from Isa Bakar – to clinch the bronze medal on Sept 15, just a day before Malaysia Day.
