AFC expresses condolences on the passing of Dato' M. Chandran

He was an integral part of the Malaysian national team in the 1970s, when the Southeast Asian country qualified for the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Born in Sungai Siput, Perak, Dato' Chandran started his playing career with Selangor Indian Association before he was spotted by Selangor.

His rise, from there on, was rapid as he established himself in both the Selangor and Malaysia teams as a steely tough tackling centre-back.
