			In national team, Aziz's teammates under coach [[Syed Abdul Rahim]] were like: [[Hussain Ahmed (footballer)\|Ahmed Hussain]], [[Peter Thangaraj]], Nikhil Nandy, [[Samar Banerjee]], [[P. K. Banerjee]], Kesto Pal, Neville Stephen D'Souza, [[Tulsidas Balaram]], Abdul Latif, Mariappa Kempiah, [[Chuni Goswami]], Kannan, [[Mohammed Rahmatullah]].<ref>[https://www.kolkatafootball.com/indian_football_news_2021/april_news.html INDIAN FOOTBALL NEWS (APRIL 2021): Ahmed Hussein, former Olympian footballer passed away] ''Kolkata Football''. Retrieved 23 August 2021</ref>

			==Club career==
			He began his club career with National Sporting Club. From 1949 to 1960, he played for [[Hyderabad]] state team in the [[Santosh Trophy]]. They reached the finals four times, emerging winners in 1956–57 and 1957–58 and runners-up in 1949–50 and 1950–51. On both occasions that Hyderabad won the Santosh Trophy, Aziz played as skipper.

			When he joined the famed [[Hyderabad City Police]], he came under the able guidance of the famous late [[Syed Abdul Rahim]] who improved his techniques and tactical knowledge of the game.
			In 1951, he represented India for the first time during a tour of the Far East and later helped the country win the gold medal in the Asian Games at Delhi. Since then he was a regular for India till 1959, including tours to [[Russia]], [[Ceylon]] and the Far East and test matches at home against Russia, [[Austria]] and [[Pakistan]].

			Stockily built Aziz, though not very tall, had superb technique. With a powerful kick on either foot he was known for his deft passing. He was equally adept with either foot and was commanding in the air. He was never flustered and played with a cool head. His positional sense was impeccable and understanding with his colleagues was always of a high calibre. He set up counter attacks with accurate cross-field passes to either flank. Former national team manager [[Syed Nayeemuddin]] paid the late Aziz the ultimate tribute when he said, "Aziz was like a Brazilian defender, he had such superb skills. Even the great Junior would have looked junior at times to Aziz".
