Abdul Wahid Durrani

Abdul Wahid Khan Durrani (Urdu, Pashto: ; 30 June 1917 – 24 February 2008) was a Pakistani international footballer and manager. He became the second footballer to captain the Pakistan national football team after the goalkeeper Osman Jan.

Playing career
Durrani made his debut in Pakistan's first ever international match in 27 October 1950 against Iran in the Amjadiyeh Stadium in Teheran. He later became captain of the Pakistan national football team in the 1952 Colombo Cup, where he scored a goal against Ceylon. Pakistan played its first match against India after victories over Ceylon and Burma, which ended in a goalless draw and emerged as joint winners of the tournament after finishing with the same points in the table.

Managerial career
Abdul Wahid was appointed as the manager of the Pakistan international team in the fourth 1955 Colombo Cup held in Dhaka, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

Personal life
During the violence of the partition of British India, Abdul Wahid Durrani provided burqas to Hindu men and women who had sought refuge in his home in Quetta, and escorted them to the station, effectively saving their lives. In the bordering North-West Frontier Province, local people protected whole villages of Hindu and Sikh communities, where some still live today.
