Hamid Shirzadegan,the best dribbler in history of iran national team(his nickname,GARRINCHA,the legendary dribbler of brasil national team from 1958-1966),many experts believed he was even better than Hassan roshan..ata behmanesh,commented about him few years ago,and explained why even he was better than hassan roshan....
he was in iran squad in 1968,but due to severe injury,could not play in asian cup 1968....he is the FIRST IRANIAN PLAYER to play in american league,(1967),he played for baltimore kickers....when he come back to Iran,10000 fans greeted him at mehrabad air port...he was known as a ((GOLDEN FOOT SHIN)),one of his great abilities , was able to score goals in penalty areas from deadball situations...
he died of stomach cancer few years ago,ROOHESH SHAD...

thanks oghab jan,you are absolutely right,but the problem is I have some few pictures from iran 1968,but when ever I try to transfer it in this site,it does not fix it here and it says,error,like you tube that I tried to send, I do not know how to send those? so.I decided to choose iran 1964,which had almost same back bone as iran 1968,but with a few differences,for example,in this picture,you see Abdollah shooti(abdollah saedi),mohammad ranjbar,hamid shirzadegan,kambiz jamali,who were not in 1968 squad,but instead almost 6- 7 players in this picture played in 1968.....
thanks again,for mentioning it to us,I appreciate if you have any pictures from those days or any input,experience,or any memories ,(I konw both of us do not belong to that era but we can share those articles that we read about that time,those can be shared in this site)....I try to keep up-to date this site,for our friends just to see how we were strong on those days,unfortunately,unlike the european ,south american,we do not have any video clips,great pictures from those days,and Iranian fans do not know about their great champions in the past....what we see today is a bunch of looser,ghonde laat,dastmal be dast,band baaz,and etc..but our past legends were not categorized in this system,there were real champions......

History of soccer in Iran,politics,anti British prejudice from 1908-1978
the most impressive victory of iran in its history is 1-1 tie with scotland,with this tie,scotland was eliminated by iran,while their victiory could have been a promotion to the 2nd,WC,rounds in 1978...scotland won the dutch team 3-2,but because they tied with iran 1-1 they got eliminated from WC...IN THE DAY DUE TO ANGER AND HATRED TO IRAN NATIONAL TEAM,THEY DECIDED NOT TO EXCHANGE THEIR SHIRTS WITH IRAN PLAYERS ....11 IRAN PLAYERS WERE HERO ON THAT PARTICULAR GAME,ESPECIALLY HEJAZI ANDDANAEI FARD,BOTH WERE RANKED FIRST IN THAT PARTICULAR GAME...DUE TO THIS BIG SUCCES,MAN.UNITED CLUB OFFERED A JOB AS A GOALKEEPER TO A MAN ,WHO DISSAPOINTED JOE JORDAN,KAENI DOUGLISH AND ARCHI JAMIL IN THIS PARTICULAR GAME...............
THE ENGLISH SUPPORTER COULD NOT TOLERATE THIS TIE,TRIED TO HUMILATE OUR TEAM WHEN EVER THEY TRIED T0 DISCUSS ABOUT THE GAME...THIS WAS A SLAP TO THEIR CHEEK BY IRAN PALYERS WHO DEMOLISHED THEIR HOPE FOR WC 1978..
1)AT the begining of 20 th century,a game called CHOGAN(cheltoup)was very popular in IRAN.but in 1908,a group of British officials and oil explorers in the southern city of IRAN,(MASJED-SOLEYMAN,BANDAR ABBAS) played a game with a ball during their leisure time...
2)in those days introduction of football,developped ,and british officials tried to use more players from masjed soleyman and ABADAN...they taught them how to play,how to shoot the ball,and how to respect to the soccer s law...
3)following the introduction of soccer in iran,soccer developped in turkey too,Istanbul,Izmir,were citied where soccer was introduced by british officials too.....
4)in turkey,this kind of game was debated over 5 years,they believed soccer is against the islamic tradiotions,and needs to be laid off.....in those days only christian had a right to play soccer....
5)the first turkish team,was established in 1901,with an engish named THE BLACK STOCKINGS
6)in IRAN,CONDITION,WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT,LOCAL PEOPLE RESPONDED VERY WELL TO IT,but traditionist were against it,especially we had our own sports,(wrestling,and ZUR KHANEH)...
5)there was a cultural challenge between,young and old generation,especially they believed Zur khaneh,belongs to military resistance against MOgul era,and Sunni muslims....they believed soccer prevents young generations go back to zur khaneh
6)there was some clubs in GERMANY,AND ITALY,which belonged to zur-khanen at the end of 19 century...zur khanh was meaning,resistance fight,and desire for national unity,and collaborations.......
more to come......

Actaulay Kasra jan the English were taking the micky out of the Scots for messing up in world cup 78 since England themselves didnt make it there and the scots were claiming to go and win the cup !
I have the video of the game with BBC commentary which included Ron Greenwood the then England manager , him and John Motson the commentator were full of praise for Iran players ,specially for Hejazi ,Nazari ,Sadeghi ,Danayeefar and Ghasempour ... Ron Greenwood called Hejazi outstanding keeper .
