LEVERKUSEN, Germany (Reuters) -Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen scored a last-gasp equaliser through Robert Andrich to come from two goals down and get a 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday that extended their record unbeaten run to 46 matches across all competitions.
THERE was a time in the early 1980s that when star shuttler Datuk Misbun Sidek decided to do the disappearing act and refused to be found – even the Inspector General of Police could not track him down!
Hanif, who passed away on April 20 at the age of 85 due to kidney disease, served as the second in command to the late Tan Sri Khir Johari at the BAM for almost four years.For the nation’s top cop known for his no-nonsense reputation, Hanif chose to be a father figure to the shuttlers. As the chairman of the coaching and training committee, Hanif kept an open mind and allowed Misbun the freedom to choose his training methods, including jogging under the sweltering heat.
Basking in the glow of victory with a congratulatory message via facsimile from Tun Musa Hitam as Deputy Prime Minister, Razif-Jalani were driven from the Subang Airport to their family home in Banting by a motorcade with police escort, arranged of course by Hanif. It was also under Hanif’s watch that Misbun turned professional when he became only the second Asian shuttler after Prakash Padukone to come under the IMG wings in 1983.Hanif’s legacy is immortalised in the form of a trophy named after him – not in badminton, but shooting.
