Soh Chin Aun is another member of the legendary Malaysian team that made every opponent that toke on the Malaysian team back in the 70′s worried. The Malacca born defender was a regular in the national setup which incluced the likes of Mokhtar Dahari,R Arumugam, defenders Santokh Singh, midfielders Reduan Abadullah ,Shukor Salleh and Isa Bakar.

Tauke was part of all the glory years when Malaysia used to come on field with pride and honour and win games for the nation at any cost. He was also known as ‘god of war’ because of his commanding presence in the centre of defence and that also earned him the captain’s armband for the qualifying team to the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.

2008 China Olympics torch run
These days tauke is the the chairman of the referees’ committee on 13 March 2007 and is actively involved with the Football Association of Malaysia(FAM). He was featured as one of the many 2008 China Olympics torch bearers run for Malaysia. I personally feel that tauke should simply teach all national players what the legendary team believed in, what made them so special. Malaysian national players should try to emulate Soh Chin Aun and his colleagues not the John Terry’s and Christiano Ronaldo’s.
Hopefully one day i get a chance to meet him and shake his hand because that is what a true national sports man is all about!
