<br />
==Career==<br />
As a footballer, Shabbir Ali was rated as the best player in India during the 1970s and 1980s. Arguably the finest striker of his time, Shabbir was a prolific goal scorer both at the national and international level. He rose to fame at a very early age when he captained [[India national football team|India]] to win the Asian Youth championships in [[Bangkok]] jointly with [[Iran national football team|Iran]] in 1974, a performance which even earned praise from the then Prime Minister, [[Indira Gandhi]].<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
After playing with Tata Sports Club in [[Mumbai|Bombay]] for a few years, Shabbir Ali was lured away by the top [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] club, [[Kingfisher East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]] in the late seventies. Later he joined [[Mohammedan Sporting Club (Kolkata)|Mohammedan Sporting]] and took the club to a great height before retiring from the same club in the mid-1980s.<br />
<br />
Shabbir Ali scored 23 goals in international matches and remains one of India's all-time top scorers, ahead of Chuni Goswami, [[Pradip Kumar Banerjee|PK Banerjee]], Inder Singh and [[Baichung Bhutia]] among others. In the 1976 Merdeka international football tournament in Kuala Lumpur, Shabbir Ali scored a [[hat-trick]] against [[Indonesia national football team|Indonesia]] in the first 35 minutes. Only five footballers in India have scored an international hat-trick; of those, Shabbir Ali's is the fastest.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
==International career==<br />
For 13 years between 1972 and 1984, Shabbir Ali was an automatic choice with the [[India national football team|national team of India]], be it Asian Youth, [[Asian Games]], pre-Olympics, [[AFC Asian Cup|Asian Cup]], [[Merdeka Cup]] tournament, [[Nehru Cup|Nehru Gold Cup]], [[King's Cup]] or any other goodwill tour. He also captained India in Asian Youth, pre-Olympics, Nehru Cup, Merdeka and King's Cup tournaments.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
He played 72 international matches for [[India national football team|India]] and scored 23 goals from 1972 to 1984.<br />
<br />
==Coaching career==<br />
After retiring as a footballer in 1985, Shabbir Ali became a coach. He earned a first class diploma from the Sports Authority of India. He successfully passed the German football association B License coach and also their four-week coaching course, which is equivalent to A License.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
As a coach, Shabbir Ali proved to be a great success within a short period of time. Appointed the Technical Director of the [[India national football team|India]], Shabbir Ali steered the team to the gold medal in the [[Football at the 1995 South Asian Games|1995 South Asian Games]] in [[Chennai]]. It was a superb achievement considering the fact that India failed to win in the three previous South Asian Games at Colombo, Islamabad and Dhaka. He remained the Technical Director till the pre-World Cup tournament in Qatar next year.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
In the 1991–92 seasons, he made [[Mohammedan Sporting Club (Kolkata)|Mohammedan Sporting]] the Champion Club of India having won four tournaments and finished runners-up in two others. Next season, he took up the challenge of coaching a relatively smaller club when he accepted the assignment with [[Peerless SC]]. It took him only one season to promote the club to the Calcutta Super Division.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indianfootball.de/data/halloffame/ali_shabbir.html|title=Indian Football "HALL OF FAME"|website=indianfootball.de|access-date=6 February 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
Between 1997 and 1999, Shabbir Ali coached top Goan outfit [[Salgaocar S.C.|Salgaocar]] and established himself as India's best coach. Barring a few like PK Banerjee and Syed Nayeemuddin, no other coach in India could win so many titles in such a short span as Shabbir Ali did.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
It started in 1998 when Salgaocar won the Goa Professional League under him and went on to win the [[Indian Super Cup (1997–2011)|Indian Super Cup]] defeating the National League champions, [[Mohun Bagan]]. Next Salgaocar won the [[National Football League (India)|National League]] title, the only time a Goan team could win it till date. Shabbir Ali then took the team to Bombay and won the Rovers Cup. Thereafter, the team flew into Delhi to bag the Durand Cup beating both Mohun Bagan and East Bengal and then tamed Mohun Bagan again in the Super Cup contest. No other teams in India have been given such a great run in Indian football in recent years.<ref name=autogenerated1 /><br />
<br />
==Awards==<br />
He has been awarded [[Dhyan Chand Award]] and rewarded as India's best football coach, towards his service to coach '''Goan outfit Salgaocar Club''' between 1997 and 1999.<ref name="autogenerated1"/><ref>http://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/indian-striker-shabbir-ali-became-first-footballer-to-win-the-prestigious-dhyan-chand-award-1311764944-1</ref><br />
