Iranian soccer player to write memoir
12 February 2013
Persepolis team captain Mehdi Mahdavikia has intended to release his memories as a professional soccer player in Iran and Germany in a new book.
IBNA: Mehdi Mahdavikia has announced that he will end his soccer carrier next year to write a memoir of his 20 years as a soccer player in Iran’s national team, Persepolis and German teams. He has made the announcement despite strong requests from his supporters for his stay in the team for a further year.
He has also stated that his memories will be the theme of a documentary to preserve them during his retirement.
Mahdavikia is a record holder among all Iranian soccer players for playing in Bundesliga and many consider him as the most successful legionnaire among others in Iran. He was very good at other sports like handball and track and field but accidentally made way to the world of soccer and prospered in it.
He had to stay home for long days for a disease during his teen years and had to move with wheelchair to take his school tests.
Iranians never forget his memorable goal to the US team in France World Cup.
