THE late Datuk R. Arumugam is well known for his contribution to Malaysian football, earning him the moniker “Spiderman” for his prowess between the posts.

Arumugam, fondly called Aru by teammates, served for his home state Selangor for 17 years from 1971-1988. He was also the mainstay of the national team for 13 years – from 1973-1986.
