Dato' Mohd Mokhtar bin Dahari DSSA DIMP AMN PJK (13 November 1953 – 11 July 1991) was a Malaysian professional footballer who played for Selangor. He is considered a legendary footballer in Malaysian history. FIFA acknowledged his 89 goals in international matches and took his team to an World Football Elo Ratings of 61 in 1977.[3][4][5][6] A prolific forward, he was nicknamed Supermokh due to his playing skills and strength.[7][8] Mokhtar is the all-time top scorer for the Malaysian national team.[9][10][11]

Early life

[edit]

Born on 13 November 1953 at Setapak, Selangor (in present-day Kuala Lumpur), Mokhtar was the first son of Aminah Sharikan and Dahari Abeng. His father, Dahari, worked as a lorry driver but barely earned enough to support his family. His family moved to Kampung Pandan in Kuala Lumpur when Mokthar was 11 years old.[12] Upon moving, he attended secondary school at Victoria Institution in the city and began to show interest and talent in playing football at an early age. He played for his school and later for his home state, the Selangor.[12]

Playing career

[edit]

"If you're ashamed to stand by your colours, you'd better seek for another flag!"

— Mokhtar Dahari —[13]

The late Mokhtar, an all-time top scorer with 89 goals in his 142 appearances with the national team, was recognised by FIFA as among the top international goalscorers in men's football.[14]

Mokhtar first played for Selangor in the Burnley Cup, which they won. He was later asked to play for the club regularly where he became the top scorer in his first season playing for Selangor. He helped the club win many tournaments, mainly the Malaysia Cup with 10 titles and scoring 177 goals altogether.[15] He also played for Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, PKNS, Talasco and Kwok Yik Bank in the FAM Cup and Selangor League.[15] In proving his loyalty for the team, he was quoted as saying: "I live and die for Selangor".[note 1] Later, he was selected to play for the Malaysia national team. He was only 19 years old when he first played for the national team in an international game, with his first game against Sri Lanka in 1972.[17] He helped Malaysia to win bronze in the 1974 Asian Games and two gold medals in the Southeast Asian Games in 1977 and 1979 respectively. He scored both goals in a 2–0 win of the Malaysia Selection against Arsenal in a friendly in 1975 that led to rumours that top clubs in England were interested in him.[18][19] After the game, he had an offer from one of the European giants, the Real Madrid but declined to join because of his patriotism and love for his home club of Selangor.[20][21] Known for his speed and accuracy, Mokhtar was named Best Asian Striker by World Soccer magazine when he was 23 years old.[22][23]

Mokhtar was famous for his speed and roars of Supermokh from the crowds were common, with many of the younger generation idolising him with some trying to imitate his moves on the field. Mokhtar once scored a goal for Malaysia from the halfway line beating Joe Corrigan with an shot in a 1–1 draw against England B in 1978, dribbling past half of the opposing team coached by Bobby Robson.[24][25] Also memorable was when Gordon Hill praised Mokhtar as "Hero Dahari" in Shoot! magazine in his column after the England B tour in 1978.[26]

Mokhtar Dahari retired in May 1986 after winning the Malaysia Cup for Selangor. After the award giving ceremony, Mokhtar went to the club's president and proceeded to give him his number 10 jersey, telling the president to let the club keep the jersey for him.[12] He came out of retirement in January 1987 to play one more season for Selangor.

Coaching career

[edit]

After Mokhtar started having injury problems, he became a local coach to help the younger generation become better footballers.

One of his trainees was a young Roshan Thiran, future Co-founder and CEO of Leaderonomics, who regularly speaks on his experiences playing under Mokhtar.[27] Mokhtar asked his Selangor partner, Reduan Abdullah to write a book about his life and his career. Mokhtar also coached for Selangor at times. After his retirement, he became a player-coach for Kwong Yik Bank.

Personal life

[edit]

Before becoming a professional footballer, he played other sports such as badminton, sepak takraw, and hockey.[12] Mokhtar worked for PKNS in the afternoon and played football in the evening. He earned little during his time with PKNS. He later quit PKNS and worked for Kwong Yik Bank (now known as RHB Bank) to gain better prospects for himself and his family. Mokhtar met Tengku Zarina Tengku Ibrahim through friends. After knowing her for 10 years, they finally got married on 24 February 1979. He then became the father of three children: Nur Azera (the eldest daughter), Mohd Reza (the eldest son) and Nur Arina (the youngest daughter).[28]

Illness and death

[edit]

Mokhtar began having throat problems and went to the hospital to find out what the problem was. Doctors diagnosed him as having motor neurone disease (MND) with the discovery only being told to him and his wife.[12] He then went to London with his wife in an attempt to cure his condition. After three years battling the disease and his condition worsening, Mokhtar died at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) on 11 July 1991.[12] The press reported Mokhtar's suffering from muscular dystrophy as the cause of his death. His body was laid to rest at Taman Keramat Permai Muslim Cemetery in Taman Keramat, Ampang, Selangor.[12] His life journey and the real cause of death was only revealed for the first time in a documentary called The Untold Truth About Supermokh in the National Geographic Channel on 30 August 2010, about 19 years after his death.[29]

Career statistics

[edit]

During his international career, Mokhtar scored a total of 125 goals in 167 appearances for Malaysia (including matches played against club sides, national 'B' teams and selection teams).[1][30] Against other nations' national 'A' teams, he scored 89 goals in 142 appearances.[2][31][3] This made him once the world's top scorer for men's national teams.[8][32][33][34] His international 85 goals in 1980 saw him overtake Ferenc Puskás as the then-all-time highest scorer, an honour Dahari held for almost 24 years until Iran’s Ali Daei notched his 90 international goal in 2004.[32]
