It had been a torturous year for Azamuddin Akil who sees it like him coming back from the dead after a long hard battle against injury. But it was a fight he was willing to take which also included not taking any salary in the first five months with Kedah, he even had to dig from his own pocket to cover the cost of treatment and recovery.
But it was all worthwhile for Azamuddin when he became the hero for Kedah in the first leg of the Malaysia Cup semi-final as his contributions helped his team stay in the hunt ahead of the trip to Darul Makmur Stadium this Saturday for the second leg.
