Fifa, the governing body of world football, released an updated list of their Century Club – an exclusive honour roll for players that have represented their nation at least 100 times.
The surprise for many is the number one star on the list: It is Malaysia’s Soh Chin Ann! He has finally been recognised for his achievements, close to four decades after his retirement in 1984, with Fifa validating 195 of his 222 recorded international appearances.
This puts Soh 10 games clear of runner-up Bader al-Mutawa, a still-active Kuwaiti footballer who is on track to inherit the top spot.
