History
Perak has sent a football team to play in Malaya Cup since its inaugural season in 1921.[7] They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor to the modern Football Association of Malaysia) in 1926.[8] However, the team was not officially registered until 18 April 1951, when the newly formed governing body of Perak football, the Perak Amateur Football Association (PAFA), took over its management.[9][10] .
Perak is the third most successful club in Malaysia Cup history, having won the competition a total of 8 times, with the last of those coming in 2018. It also won the inaugural FA Cup in 1990, a feat it repeated in 2004.
Since Malaysian football league competition was introduced in 1982, the team has emerged league winners twice (in 2002 and 2003) and is the only team to have never been demoted to a lower division. Perak has yet to win the Super League since its foundation in 2004, with its best showing coming in the 06-07 and 2018 seasons where they finished runners-up.
It made its continental competition debut as a professional team at the 2008 AFC Cup, making it to the Quarter-Final stage before being eliminated by Safa.
In February 2016, the club rebranded as Perak The Bos Gaurus, or Perak TBG, as part of its privatisation plan to play in Malaysia Super League.[4][5][6]
Perak subsequently acquired its club license in 2017, in accordance with FMLLP's requirement for all M-League clubs to acquire their licenses by the start of the 2018 season [11].
In 2019, Perak acquired the AFC Club License, enabling it to participate in the AFC Champions League.[12]
Perak TBG made its Champions League debut on 12 Feb 2019, by virtue of being runners-up of the 2018 Malaysian Super League [13]. The club made it to the third playoff round where it was defeated 1-5 by Ulsan Hyundai [14].

In 2015, in effort to modernise the club, a new crest was introduced to replace the old crest as the club main crest. The club replaced the old crest with new logo and adopted the image Seladang which is more synonym with the Perak football team.[20] After being criticized for the lack of quality for the logo, Perak The Bos Gaurus launched a new version of the logo chosen from the logo competition held by the team for 2016 season onwards.[21] Perak reused previous crest for 2019 season for all competitions.
