Syamsol was a stalwart in defence for Perak for many a year and have won numerous trophies with The Silver State. Twice league champions in 2003 and 2004 was added to the Malaysia Cup triumph in 1998 and FA Cup in 2004, taking his collection of winner's medal up to four.
18 years his junior, Shahrul has always looked up to his elder brother and it isn't a coincidence that he is also a centre back just like his elder brother. Now with a Malaysia Cup medal in his locker, Shahrul has his brother in his sight now and can narrow the gap down to just two if he helps Perak to a FA Cup win this Saturday.
