He was bless for not only

by koorosh10 on Mon May 23, 2011 05:36 PM PDT

He was bless for not only being a great football player but also a great human being. But as we all know great athlets come and go. what stays for ever is the character they leave behind after they are gone. Dear Naser, you are at the top of our list. God bless your soul and god bless your family.

I first saw Nasser playing in the Team-e Javanan Iran in the late 1960's, and early 1970's - Always with a big heart - At that time, our beloved Aziz Asli was still the goal-keeper for our National team -

I would like to wish the Hejazi family God's patience and grace for such an untimely death,

He was a good man

by farokh2000 on Mon May 23, 2011 01:41 PM PDT

He was a great Keeper and a good man, who enjoyed his life during the time when Iranians were free.

I remember seeing him around our College Campus in Tehran, always well dressed  and plenty of good looking people around him.

He was a Senior and I was a Freshman and very impressed when I saw him for the first time upclose.

May he rest in peace.

A huge icon and a true champion.  You will always remain in our hearts. Every time he stood between the goal posts with Team Melli everyone felt much more confident.

Extremely sad day for ALL Iranians.

My Heart Aches & I am devastated

by mehdi2009 on Mon May 23, 2011 09:41 AM PDT

Without a doubt he was the greatest Goal Keeper and Sportsman in Team Melli's History. Growing up in the late 1960s when Aziz Asli the Goal Keeper of Team Melli retired we as 11 - 12 year old football fans were worried about who is going to replace him. Within a year or 2 of trying a couple of keepers for Team Melli we as Iranians and football fans were very fortunate to have found a GREAT JEWEL in Nasser Hejazi.

I am truly devastated as I saw him play in person both in Amjadieh and Aryamehr/Azadi Stadiums, and found him to be a great athlete and human being.

Iran has lost one of her greatest sons.

Salutations to ALL the TRUE Sons and Daughters of Iran.

The Passing of a Legend

by Faramarz on Mon May 23, 2011 08:30 AM PDT

 

Nasser Hejazi was the quintessential young Iranian man of the 1970’s; tall, dark and handsome, a great athlete and a kind gentleman. Young girls and boys used to come to the stadiums just to watch him. He had a great sense of style with Jason King haircut and sideburns, tight shirt and pants, the look that we all tried to emulate as young kids! He drove the ultimate car of the single men of the 70’s, a BMW 2002. He was bigger than life and so humble at the same time

Here is the chant of the grieving crowds outside of the hospital where he passed away today. May he rest in peace  

عزا عزاست امروز

روز عزاست امروز

ناصر محبوب ما پیش خداست امروز

Although I was a Persepolis fan, I respected Hejazi and his great skills. I was also very impressed recently with his talk about people's problems and that counts a lot. RIP Hejazi.

Naser Hejazi a true "PAHLEVAAN"

by Benyamin on Mon May 23, 2011 06:14 AM PDT

It is amazing, when I heard he died, the very first word came to my mind was "PAHLEVAAN"!

Pahlevaan in persian means an able person in terms of physical and financial strength that sides himself with "true justice". I believe Naser Hejazi was a true Pahlevaan.

God bless Naser Hejazi and god bless the people of Iran.

انگاری ارسال اخبار بد از ایران تمامی ندارد و بار دیگر شاهد پر پر شدنِ شقایقی هستیم از گلستان مردان بزرگ سرزمینمان،ایران زمین.

بسیار غم انگیز است و در این لحظه دستمان میلرزد و قلبمان درد ! ناصر خان بسیار نیک‌ نام و خوش اخلاق بود،چه در میادین ورزشی و چه در خارج از آن..ناصر خان از با مرام‌ترین ورزشکاران ایران بود.هنوز به خاطر داریم که سالها پیش،قبل از وقوع انقلاب..ایشان را در حال تمرین مضاعف..در باشگاه تاج میدیدیم و زمانیکه کارشان تمام میشد،با حوصله و با احترام به درخواستهای تمام بچه‌های باشگاه تاج رسیدگی میکرد و امضا میداد و عکس‌های یادگاری...!

کی‌ باور می‌کند که دیگر ناصر خان در میان ما نیست و ایشان برای همیشه راهی‌ وادی سایه‌ها شد و ما سیاهپوش و غمگین..ماتم بهاری دیگر را تجربه می‌کنیم.

درگذشت ناصر حجازی،بزرگ دروازبان تیم تاج تهران و تیم ملی‌ فوتبال ایران را به تمامی هواداران این تیم آبی‌ پوش و دیگر هم میهنان و همینطور دوستان و خانواده محترم ایشان.. تسلیت عرض می‌کنیم.
