Moosa Ghazi

Considered as one of the earliest legends in Pakistan football history,[1][2][3][4][5] he was renowned for his performances at the wing and goalscoring abilities.

[6] He scored a brilliant goal which enabled East Bengal to beat Hyderabad City Police in the 1956–57 Durand Cup final, making a solo run past the defenders and scoring to make it 2–0 as East Bengal held onto the scoreline and won their third Durand Cup title.

[23] Ghazi was first selected by the Pakistan national team for the 1955 Asian Quadrangular Football Tournament, as a backup player for left winger Masood Fakhri.

[34] After the fall of Dhaka in 1971, both Moosa and his brother Abid Ghazi were arrested by the Indian Army and made prisoners of war.

[35] According to Abid, Moosa was previously offered Indian citizenship in the 1950s while playing in the country but he opted to sit tight.

[36] Moosa has also been reportedly described contrasting to his calm brother, often engaging in controversies and quarreling with referees and linesmen until eventually reconciling at the finalisation of the matches.
