IT is sad that Malaysian football has sunk to such low depths. We have to face reality that at world standings, Malaysia ranks at 178. Yes, it is no dream; that is the fact of it all.
I take pride in having lived through the ‘60s and ‘70s when the standard of Malaysian football was at its glorious best. We took the bronze medal at the 1974 Asian Games in Teheran, Iran. We were on a par with the giants of Asia then, like South Korea, Japan, Iran and Iraq.
