My Take

Majed Abdullah is a name that should be spoken with reverence by anyone who cares about Asian football history. As Saudi Arabia's all-time leading scorer with 72 goals in 117 caps, and the record marksman for both Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League, he is the original icon long before the league bought global stars. They called him the desert pearl for good reason. I find it striking that an entire generation of Saudi football was effectively built on his shoulders. When people treat the Saudi league as a recent phenomenon, I always point them back to this striker.
