You then said:

You seem to be more sure about this than my farsoodeh memory. For some >reason I still want to think it was in 100,000-seat stadium, but heck 23 >years is a long time.

Is there any other footbAl khore who can shed some light on this one?
We definitely need this Iranian Football Almanac to be made soon.

P.S. You are right about the first goal by Pele.

This suggest that you and I are talking about the same game.

P.P.S. The Takhti stadium was supposed to be a state of the art. It is >>designed so that when it rains none of the spectators get wet. Too bad
it never really worked that way. :-)

Where you at the stadium? I mean the game between Iran and Santos.

I wasn't at the stadium but years later (early 80's) when I was playing
at Takhti stadium one of the people in charge of the stadium told us that years ago "soltan-pele" was in this locker room. :-) That's how it stayed
in my mind. Another thing is the picture of the game that I have a vague memory of resembles Takhti stadium rather than 100,000 seat.

P.P.P.S. Now that you mentioned 100,000 seat stadium, what was the final >>score of the Asian games played at 100,000 seat? It was played between >>Iran-Kuwait, and Iran won.

bA kamAle meyl:
Iran won 1-0 and captured its third straight Asian Championship Cup.

My turn now:

What do you know about the final football game during Asian Games in Iran >(1974). Iran won that too and again in front of 100,000 of her nostalgic >fans.

If my memory serves me right, Parvin scored the wining goal (as always
from behing the box with one of those well measured kicks).
If I am right about this, the newspaper later wrote an article about
Parvin with the tilte:"shah beyt -e- yek Gazal". And there was a picture
of Parvin after the kick eyeing the ball.

P.S. Javani kojaee ke yadet bekheyr.
P.S. Javoonimon ham heech pokhi naboodim. :-)
