Is Towkay the only footballer in the world to have a double-century of international games?


A glorious moment for Malaysian skipper Soh Chin Aun as he receives the Merdeka Cup from the Yang DiPertuan Agong after beating Japan in the final in 1976.

NO, Malaysia’s legendary centreback Datuk Soh Chin Aun did not officially cap over 200 games.

The 71-year-old who represented Malaysia from 1969-1984 was placed first in FIFA’s illustrious century list with 195 caps to his name, 10 more than second-placed Kuwait's Bader Almotawa, making him the most capped player in international football history, but it was not 222 games.
