well,first congratulation to you guys for sepahan thread.....but then I was thinking,it is always better to inform the people on this site and the guests,to know what is sepahan and what was sepahan,how it was organized,who was in charge with the team and how it was functioning...........we as a iranain,should know our history ,as foreign countries do,but problem with us,is we are far away from everything,and unfortunately,unlike them,we do not have books ,notes or anything about our legends......although I am taji,but I would like to write whatever I know about sepahan club,just to show to our people,still,there are some people who appreciate their legendary players...............
this picture belong to the first one who organized and created shahin esfahan,in 1332...(1953),ostad mahmoud hariri,he was a soccer player who was interested in shahin tehran,that is why he decided to create shahin isfahan,which later converted to sepahan esfahan.........in 1382,in esfahan iran,many legendary players of sepahan,and old football players,got together,and celebrated 50th,anniversary of sepahan esfahan in esfahan..............
mahmoud hariri used to play for iran national team,one of his memories come back to 1328,when iran national team had to compete with turkey in istanbul.......they decided to travel by bus to turkey....but all of the sudden,it was broken,so they had to sleep at night in the bus,around 3,00 am,they heard a voice,found out 6 armed vagabond attacked the bus,and pulled out all their shirt!!!
the next day,why there were without any clothes,!!! another bus reached to that zone,and when they see,there all many gentlemen without the cloths,tried to beat them!! due to insult to society...but then,they explained what happened to them,
and they were saved later...............
shadravan mahmoud hariri,used to play with shadravan akbar ibrahimzadeh(father of ibrahim zadeh,coach of sepahan),in isfahan,selection,and iran national team.....asghar mozoon,hossein poorjam,ahmad sadeghi,were other isfahani players who were invited to iran national team in late 1320s,early 1330s..........
in 1346,he changed the name of shahin sepahan to sepahan isfahan...........mahmoud hariri was a great manager,and he was an educated gentle man....
