Playing career

National team

When Abdul Kadir was part of the national team between 1965 and 1978, the team won the 1968 King's Cup, the 1969 Merdeka Tournament, and the 1972 Pesta Sukan Singapura. The team became second in the 1972 President's Cup Football Tournament.[1] Kadir would become the national team captain until 1978.

Together with Soetjipto Soentoro, Max Timisela, Iswadi Idris, and Jacob Sihasale, he was elected as a player in the Asia All Stars in 1966-1970. They were a quartet of the fastest in Asia at that time.

After Santos FC won 3-2 in a friendly match in June 1972, TVRI invited Pelé to perform ball tricks together with Abdul Kadir. Due to his agility in manoeuvring the ball, Abdul Kadir got himself the nickname "The Deer" (Indonesian: Kancil).[1] According to fellow contemporary, M Basri, Abdul Kadir has proven to the world of sports that stature is not a definitive measure of the ability of an outstanding athlete.
