King and players pay tribute to the ‘Machine’ Krishnasamy

Thanks for the memories: Krishnasamy (second from right) seen here with some former footballers (from left) Datuk Mohamad Bakar, C. Nadarajan, Datuk Shukor Salleh and Johari Maina.

PETALING JAYA: He was super-fit, he ran like a gazelle, he had the stamina of a racehorse. To top it all off, he had great vision on the pitch, too.

That is how his friends describe former football international V. Krishnasamy, a giant of the game when Malaysia dominataed the region in the 70s.
