Abid Hussain Ghazi (Urdu: عابد حسین غازی; 1935 – 14 January 2016) was a Pakistani footballer who played as a midfielder. He is considered one of the greatest Pakistani footballers of the 1950s and 1960s, and also captained the Pakistan national football team.
Early life
Ghazi hailed from Lyari locality of Karachi in British India. He belonged to the Makrani Baloch community (also known as Sheedi) of Sudanese descent.
Club career
Ghazi started playing football with Karachi club Keamari Mohammedan in 1952 alongside his brother Moosa Ghazi.
He started playing in the Calcutta League for Kolkata Mohammedan in India in 1956. In 1958, Ghazi played for Dhaka club Victoria SC in the inaugural edition of the Aga Khan Gold Cup.
He also featured for Dhaka Mohammedan club in East Pakistan. In 1959, he was an integral part of the Mohammedan team that defeated Karachi Municipal Corporation to lift the Aga Khan Gold Cup. Ghazi was club captain in 1963 and led the Black and Whites to their fourth Dhaka First Division League title.
Ghazi represented the East Pakistan football team at the ninth National Football Championship held in Multan. The team captained by Nabi Chowdhury made a surprising exit from the tournament in the quarter-finals after losing 1–3 to Punjab Red. Ghazi won the National Championship with Dacca in both 1961–62 and 1962. He was notably team captain in the 1961 edition.
International career
First selected in 1956, Ghazi featured in the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo with the Pakistan national team under the captaincy of Nabi Chowdhury. Ghazi was among the players present in the 1960 Asian Cup qualifiers hosted by India in Ernakulam in 1959, where Pakistan faced Iran, India and Israel twice each in the qualifiers. He was also selected for the 1960 Merdeka Tournament in Malaya under the captainship of Qayyum Changezi.
When the Burma national team visited Pakistan for a friendly series in 1961, Abid played alongside his brother Moosa Ghazi, where the latter also captained the national team in one of the matches. Ghazi also featured with Pakistan at the 1962 Merdeka Tournament, where Pakistan finished runner-ups after falling against Indonesia.
In 1963, he featured in a four-match friendly series against China in their tour to Pakistan, and after a few months served as vice-captain behind Mohammad Amin at the 1964 Summer Olympics qualification. In his last year with the national team, Abid Ghazi captained the national squad in an away friendly against China in 1964.
Coaching career
In 1968, Abid coached WAPDA Sports Club to win the Dhaka Second Division League while continuing his playing career.
Personal life and death
Abid's brother Moosa Ghazi was also a footballer who played for the Pakistan national team. After the fall of Dhaka in 1971, both were arrested by the Indian Army and made prisoners of war. When he was released in 1973 and reached Lahore, he was made the coach of the Punjab football team. After his contract expired, Ghazi faced financial difficulties and took a job as a welder in the Karachi Shipyard. Later, KESC appointed Abid Ghazi as the team's coach on a contract basis, who also started running a sports goods shop in Bhatta Village, but he was later forced to close it.
On 6 May 2014, The News International reported that Ghazi was on death bed, and in dire need of financial help without anyone to support him. In December 2015, Pakistani singer Fakhar-e-Alam tweeted on his Twitter handle that Ghazi's son sold all his belongings for his father's treatment, and that he was in his poorest condition. He passed away soon after on 14 January 2016, at the age of 81. His situation also matched with former Pakistan national team captains such as Muhammad Umer, Abdul Ghafoor, Qadir Bakhsh, and his brother Moosa, who passed away enduring similar hardship.
