Choirul Huda (2 June 1979 – 15 October 2017[2]) was an Indonesian professional footballer and civil servant.

Personal life

Huda began his career in Persela Lamongan since 1999 and stayed with the club until his death in 2017[3]. He was dubbed "The One Man, One Club, One Love", and became a Legend for Persela Lamongan.

Indonesian football writer Antony Sutton met Huda a few months ago while researching a book before his death described him as :

"He played for his local team, he was living the dream,". "He was just happy in his skin and happy in his town."

"He's a legend - a one-club man, His ambition was to become his club's goalkeeping coach after he retired."

"He never created a fuss about anything. He loved what he was doing but did it in such an understated way."[4]

He was married and had two children.

International career

Huda was given his first call-up for a 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification in 1-1 draw against China on 15 October 2013. Huda was called-up seven times for Indonesia in his national career but he received no single caps.[5]

Death

Huda died after an incident in the match against Semen Padang at 2017 Liga 1. He collided with a teammate, Ramon Rodrigues, while trying to collect the ball from an opponent and was struck in the chest. Paramedics immediately gave him sideline emergency treatment. A paramedic said that after the incident, he was still conscious and complained of a chest pain, but his condition soon relapsed and he later died from his injuries in a local hospital.[6]

According to a doctor in the local hospital, he suffered a collision on his chest and lower jaw, which caused hypoxia that ultimately led to his death.[7] Moreover, due to severe injury, he might also have experienced trauma to his head, neck, and chest.[8]
