The mystery of Pahang 1982 Matchworn Jersey

    Pahang 1982 team was line up with the great football legends such as Zainal Abidin Hassan, Sanusi Daud, Terry Pathmanathan, Jamal Nasir Ismail, Yunus Alif and many more. However, the team did not managed to lift the Malaysia Cup, but a year after that in 1983, Pahang team became a champion and lifted the Malaysia Cup.

    In 1982, Topper officially sponsored the Pahang team including the jerseys. Surprisingly when the truth was found out, based on fact and evidence, in reality on that year, Pahang worn a Schwarzenbach brand jersey with the sewn Topper logo on the chest of the jersey. On the label tag, it was a Schwarzenbach jersey, but on the chest of the jersey, it was sewn with a Topper logo.
