The seasoned defender also has several other records to his name including 80 goals in a single calendar year and ended up a top scorer in eight major tournaments including the Athens Olympics. “He is a living legend of the sport,” said a PHF official. “The award is a small attempt to acknowledge his immense services for Pakistan.”
