Majid was one of the best Saudi strikers to put on the Saudi Arabian Jersey, in his prime he was un stoppable and most of his goals were top class solo or beautiful goals. He wore the famous #9 shirt for Saudi and he was one of the most feared strikers in Asia along with Moheisen Al Jaman ad Haraifi and Yousif Al Tinyan Majid show how classy the Saudi side of the 1984- 1994 were , Majid not only won Asian cup with Saudia 2 time he also started the steps for Saudia toward their first world cup in 1994 and he contributed by taking away other defenders towards himself as Saeed Al Owairan scored the best goal of World cup 2004. Majid Abdullah himself scored some very beautiful goals.

Hilal Club - Saudi Arabia
Nawaf Al Timyat is technically a very gifted player who has great vision and love to do fancy things with the ball, he has a tremendous shot and he is hard to get off the ball. Nawaf has won Gulf cups with Saudi team and Arab cup champinship and he was chosen as best player of Asia for year 2000. Nawaf takes part in charities and donates his time with needy and thus he is loved by most of the saudi fans for his soft nature off the field. Truly a great sportsman. He won various AFC champion ships with Saudia
Unlucky for Nawaf he got injured after his best games in Lebanon that prevented him a chance to move to Holland, where he dreamt about playing in Ajax. May be he will move to Europe or not that remains to be see one thing is sure he is surely very talented.
Nawaf made appearances in 1998 world cup and in 2002 he came and played from a serious knee injury although he was best player on the field still Nawaf did not had chance to be at his best yet

Hilal Club - Saudi Arabia / Wolverhampton - England
Just when Majid Abdullah was slowling down a new star was born by name of Sami Al Jaber, Sami and Majd had epic battles in local leagues and they each had their share of amazing memories, but Sami developed into a player also well known on the international stage. That is why perhaps he is more well known in international audience, but to Saudi fans both Majid and Sami are almost equal
Sami player in 1994, 1998 and 200 world cups and he also had chance to represent Saudia on Asian cup stage. He has nice skill and wisdom which he uses to mesmerize opponents, he also played and won Gulf cup with Saudi team. He also had a small stint in an English team called Wolverhampton which was a good experience for him. Sami is well known in Arab world and specially in gulf states as well. Sami scored on local and international stage. He is the only Saudi player to score in two world cups.

When you are talking about skills there comes only one player FAHAD AL GHISHIAN the crafty winger came from no where and stole the hearts of local fans at Hilal club. He came from no where and led Saudia to an easy World Cup for youth in Asia and qualificatoin to World cup in Asia. His totally single handedly destroyed I mean played and toyed with the whole Brazilian team who had no idea who this guy was I am sure they were thinking hey left confirm he is not a Brazilian? I am sure some of the defenders were thinking like that. At one stage in the game Gheshayan was completely surrounded by three defenders and on one side he had the free throw line, but amazingly Gheshayan managed to get out of that !! The clip is included plus his other crafty footwork and skills. Gheshayan was a totally classy player, his touch on the ball was magical, and it felt as if the ball is attached to his feet and the turns he would make with the ball , defied laws of Physicals and gravity. Most of the time teams resorted to marking him with Three players Even Brazil learned that the hard way.
Gheshayan was a raw talent he played amazingly in preparation for major tournaments but some how he was rarely given chance in First team action in competitive action and that remains puzzling Why ???? Why?? would you sit out this talented player on the bench?? Even against Sweden he came on in last 10 min of game and yet he scored, also before that he came as a Sub. Gheshayan's main problem was the bureaucracy in the team that started to get Jealous of his skills also there were so many players in the Saudi team before him who were tested strikers and it became hard for Gheshayan to gain trust of a coach knowing that a single loss usually means execution for Saudi coaches in Saudia.
Gheshayan played for Hilal club and together with Yousif Al thinyan & Sami Al Jabir Hilal were just un stoppable!!. A twist happened in his career when he wanted to turn professional and he was sold to bitter rivals Nasser of Saudi Arabia, Gheshayan was a Hilal fan and it was hard for him to make that move but he had to move out of Hilal. It was a bitter pill to swallow for the talented player. He never would settle with Nasser club with his heart always with Hilal of Saudi Arabia. He made last attempt to turn professional at AZ Alkamara things did not work out well he came back. Disheartened he just decided to quite soccer at a very young age sitting he no longer is challenged by soccer and has family issues. If only Gheshaian was treated with care he would have been Saudi Ryan Gigs or Cafu. I think Gheshaiyan would have succeeded in an other club if he wanted and he can still play for any club in Asia. He is a player still remembered by Hilal fans as they were heart broken when he was sold to Nasser.

Fahad Al Haraifi was an architect of Saudi attacks in 80's - 1994 and was an amazing player gifted with flair and vision Majid, Fahad and Mohaisin Al Jaman formed a tri that was the golden generation of Naser club in Saudi Arabia. Haraifi as he was known scored the winning penalty for saudia in 1988 Asian cup final. He ran into problems with his club and thus quite soccer too early. He resolved the problems with his club but by then he was 37 but he came back for the fans in Naser and then said thank you to his fans and then left in the sun set.
Haraifi lifted AFC cup with Saudia won everything in Saudi soccer and infact also participated in the first Club World cup with Naser of Saudia.
He was a "musician" , a playmaker
