Abdul Wahid Durrani

Abdul Wahid Khan Durrani was a Pakistani international footballer and manager. Wahid scored the first ever goal of the Pakistan national football team in their international debut against Iran in 1950, and was the second captain of the national side after the goalkeeper Osman Jan.

Club career

Durrani made his debut in Pakistan's first ever international match in 27 October 1950 against Iran at Amjadiyeh Stadium in Teheran, where he scored the first ever goal of the national team from an assist from Taj Mohammad Jr., 10 minutes after the second half in a 1–5 defeat.
He later became captain of the Pakistan national football team in the 1952 Asian Quadrangular Football Tournament, where he scored a goal against Ceylon. He also scored two headers against Burma in the following match but both were disallowed. The last match against India ended in a goalless draw and Pakistan emerged as joint winners of the tournament after finishing with the same points in the table. He also captained the side in friendly home matches against Iran the same year.

During the violence of the partition of British India, Abdul Wahid Durrani helped Hindu men and women who had sought refuge in his home in Quetta, and escorted them to the station, effectively saving their lives.
