Abdul Sulaiman Kadir (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈabdul kaˈdir]; 27 December 1948 – 4 April 2003) was an Indonesian professional football player and manager. Regarded as one of the greatest Asian players in history and as the greatest Indonesian footballer ever.
He played as a winger in Indonesia's national team from 1967 to 1979.[2] Due to his agility in maneuvering the ball, Kadir got himself a nickname of "The Deer" (Indonesian: Kancil).[2] He is the record holder in terms of both appearances and goal scoring for Indonesia.[3] In December 2021, Kadir was confirmed by FIFA to have made 105 'A' appearances (111 as recognized by RSSSF) at the international level to become a member of the FIFA Century Club, the only Indonesian footballer to do so.[4]
