Nurul Haque Manik (25 June 1964[citation needed] – 14 June 2020)[1] was a Bangladeshi footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.[2] He was a prominent figure in the Bangladesh national team between 1989 and 1997. He spent most of his club career playing for Dhaka League giants Mohammedan Sporting Club and Brothers Union.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Mohammad Nurul Haque Manik was born in Matlab Uttar Upazila, Chandpur, Bangladesh and spent his childhood there. His father, AKM Mozammel Haque, was an accountant in the Public Works Department. Manik moved to Dhaka with his family due to his father's job and it was through him that Manik became involved with football. In 1980, he played in the Pioneer Football League with Kamalapur Jubo KS and the following year with Pragati Sangha. In 1983, he played in the Dhaka Second Division League with Fakirerpool YMC.[4]

Club career

[edit]

Manik made his top-tier debut with First Division club Arambagh KS in 1985. He spent two years with the club and was named as their captain in 1987, which ended up being his last season there. He joined Fakirerpool YMC in 1987 and was named their captain in 1988, only one year after joining. Manik went on to sign a contract with Brothers Union, and captained the Oranges to the 1991 Federation Cup trophy. In the same year he joined Kolkata Mohammedan in the Calcutta Football League. Manik ended his career with the Dhaka based Mohammedan Sporting Club in 1998; and also captained the side in 1995.[5] He also played for Abahani Limited Dhaka as a guest player when they faced India's East Bengal Club in the 1991–92 Asian Cup Winners' Cup.[6]

International career

[edit]

In 1989, Manik played for the Bangladesh Green Team (B team) at the President's Gold Cup. His greatest moment with the senior national team came during the 1989 South Asian Games, when Manik scored the opening goal of the match against India and helped his country earn a place in the finals, however, the game ended in huge controversy, when Bangladesh captain Elias Hossain was suspended from playing international games after getting into a fight with the referee.[7] Manik last played for the national team on 31 March 1997, when Bangladesh lost 0–1 to Malaysia at the Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, during the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
