Salleh Ibrahim

Salleh Ibrahim (1 November 1947 – 8 March 2020) was a Malaysian footballer.[1][2] A prison officer by profession (as Malaysian football was not professional in his time), Salleh represented Prison Department, Kelantan FA, Perak FA and Singapore FA during his football career.[3] He also played for Malaysian national team, and competed in the men’s tournament at the 1972 Summer Olympics,[4] scoring in the 3-0 win against the United States in the group stage.[5]

In this Malay name, the name Ibrahim is a patronymic, not a family name, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Salleh.
