Syed Abdul Rahim was a prominent Indian football team’s coach and manager between 1950 and 1963 and was regarded as the architect of modern Indian football who led the team to beat the tough South Korea team to win gold at the 1962 Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Super-excited to watch Ajay Devgn’s brilliant performance! What say?
