Early life

[edit]

Gholam Hossein Mazloumi was born on 13 January 1950 in Abadan, Iran. He had two sisters and six brothers. One of them, Parviz, also became a professional football player and coach.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Mazloumi was one of the key players of Taj Tehran. He won the Asian Club Championship in the 1969–70 season,[5] as well as the Iranian league in 1970–71 and 1974–75, and he reached the second place in 1973–74. Mazloumi is considered to be one of the finest strikers in Iranian football history as evidenced by total goal tally for the national team scoring the most goals in the fewest caps. Mazloumi was a great finisher, rarely missing sure-goal opportunities.

In this period he became the Iranian league's top goalscorer in two consecutive seasons of 1973–74 and 1974–75. He was the top goalscorer again in the 1976–77 season when he was playing as one of the key players for Shahbaz reaching the third place in that season. He retired in 1978 at the age of 28 due to an injury.[2]

International career

[edit]

Mazloumi made his debut for the Iran national team in September 1969 in a match against Pakistan. He has a total of 40 caps and 19 goals for Team Melli.

Mazloumi won three major tournaments with the Iran national team, including the 1972 Asian Cup, the football tournament of the 1974 Asian Games in Tehran as well as the 1976 Asian Cup in Tehran as one of the top scorers. He also participated in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, when Iran reached the quarterfinals.
