He was nicknamed The Black Bomber (Persian: بمب افکن سیاه) because of his style of play and dark skin and his strong kicks.
He was to participate in the football tournament of the 1964 Summer Olympics, but he missed out after boycotting the team along with a number of other Shahin players.
A number of players including Shahrokhi were banned from any involvement in football for one year.
In 1976 came Shahrokhi's debut in Iranian cinema, acting in a movie called Alafhaye Harz.
Acting was not his passion though, and he became the manager of several teams after retirement, but was not able to achieve anything impressive, as the Iranian Revolution and Iran–Iraq War caused football's presence to diminish in 1980s Iran.
