Sirous Ghayeghran (PerB|سيروس قايقران) (b. September 22, 1962 in Bandar Anzali, Iran - d. March 26, 1998) was a famous Iranian footballer and former captain of Iran national football team.

Playing career

Club career

He played most of his club career for Malavan FC. In 1990 he signed for Ai-Ittihad of Qatar. He did not forget his roots and soon returned to Malavan, helping the club win the Hazfi Cup and participate in the Asian Club Championship. In 1993 he moved to the big spending team of the time Keshavarz FC, where he was also a coach. The team obtained respectable results but Ghayeghran moved to second division team "Masoud Hormozgan" where he coached once again. In 1997 and 1998 Ghayeghran stated numerous times that he would like to be involved with Malavan again, either as a coach or player.

International career

In February 1986 he made his debut for the national team against Pakistan. In 1987 Ghayeghran became the national team captain, and in 1988 thanks to his leadership Iran finished third in the Asian Cup tournament. Two years later the team became the 1990 Asian Games champions, where Ghayeghran scored one of the most beautiful goals in Iranian football history against South Korea.

He finished his international career with 40 caps and 6 goals.

Death

Unfortunately on March 26, 1998 as Ghayeghran and some family members were driving towards Tehran during their Norouz vacation, they collided with a truck, leaving Ghayeghran and his son dead.

Legacy

Ghayeghran's love of football began early, playing with local children in the streets and alleys of his home city. He was soon playing in the youth provincial team of Gilan and also joined his hometown club, Malavan. Even at a young age Ghayeghran was known to be a down to earth person, with a great attitude, and instantly became a fan favorite.

Ghayeghran will always be remembered as one of the finest examples of an athlete in Iran. He helped charities privately, and always had time for his fans. He paved the way for players who were not born or raised in Tehran to make it to the national team and helped Malavan and Bandar Anzali earn a place in Iranian football.
