Salam Takziah, Harun Jusoh (1948 – 2023)

Legasi Lagenda mengucapkan salam takziah kepada keluarga Allahyarham Harun Jusoh yang meninggal dunia petang semalam di Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu, setelah bertarung dengan penyakit radang sendi sejak lima tahun lalu.

Allahyarham Harun Jusoh telah banyak berkorban demi mengharumkan nama negara Malaysia di persada dunia. Pertama kali beliau mewakili Malaysia adalah di Sukan SEAP 1969, di mana mereka membawa pulang pingat gangsa. Di sini mulanya nama Harun Jusoh dikenali oleh para peminat bola sepak negara. Kemuncak karier beliau tentunya apabila beraksi di Sukan Olimpik Munich 1972. Beliau juga telah menjuarai Pestabola Merdeka 1973 dan memenangi pingat gangsa di Sukan Asia 1974.

Beberapa bulan yang lalu, Legasi Lagenda sempat menziarahi Allahyarham di kediaman beliau dan disambut baik oleh isteri beliau, Sharifah Azizah Syed Omar. Kami ditemani oleh bekas jurulatih kebangsaan, Tuan Haji Abdul Rahman Ibrahim, serta bekas pemain Terengganu Syed Mahmud Syed Hassan dan Kong Yip Peng. Harun Jusoh merupakan kapten pasukan Terengganu dari 1972 hingga 1976.

Marilah kita doakan semoga roh Allahyarham dicucuri rahmat Allah SWT dan ditempatkan dalam kalangan orang beriman. Kita doakan juga keluarga Allahyarham tabah dan sabar mengharungi kehilangan insan yang disayangi.

Legasi Lagenda wishes to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Allahyarham Harun Jusoh, who passed away yesterday afternoon in Batu Burok, Kuala Terengganu, after a five-year battle with severe arthritis.

Allahyarham Harun Jusoh has sacrificed a lot to bring our nation’s name onto the world stage. The first time he represented Malaysia was at the 1969 SEAP Games, where they won the bronze medal, and this was when his name was first recognised by local football fans. A career highlight was surely when he played at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. He was also part of the team that became champions of the 1973 Merdeka Tournament as well as bringing home a bronze medal at the 1974 Asian Games.

Legasi Lagenda visited the legend himself at his place of residence a few months ago and was welcomed warmly by his wife, Sharifa Azizah Syed Omar. We were accompanied by former national coach Tuan Haji Abdul Rahman Ibrahim, as well as former Terengganu players Syed Mahmud Syed Hassan and Kong Yip Peng. Harun Jusoh was captain of the Terengganu team from 1972 to 1976.

Let us all pray that his soul is showered with Allah SWT’s blessings and for him to be placed among the believers. We also pray for his family to stay strong as they face the loss of their loved one.
