Legasi Lagenda would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family of the late Dato’ M. Kupan, who passed away today on December 30, 2021.

Born in Penang, Dato’ M. Kupan was a football legend during Harimau Malaya’s golden years, as a player and a coach. The national teams under his guidance won the Merdeka Cup, the Thai King’s Cup, and a gold medal at the SEA Games.

In 1961, he was in the national team that secured Malaya’s first gold medal in football at the 2nd SEAP Games held in Rangoon. He was quick on his feet on the right wing of the field, which earned him the nickname “Jetboots”.

We appreciate all of the sacrifices and achievements that he made for Malaysia’s football scene.
