BRADFORD UPDATE

We are four months into the season and currently find ourselves 4 points off a play of place. I am dissapointed to be missing the game at Darlington, the first in the league this season due to a very tight hamstring which was niggling me since the thumping 3-0 victory over Grimsby Town. There are plenty of positives to date, the club has had its best unbeaten run for 25 years this season, Only lost 1 in the last 6 league games to a rochdale team that has been together along time and it was only the third time I have tasted defeat as the captain from 16 league games. The Rochdale defeat was a blow, but you dont become bad players or a bad team overnight. A win over Darlington will take us within 1 point of the play offs with a massive chunk of the season remaining. I would just like to wish my Pakistan International team mates good luck in the SAFF CUP which kicks off today, I have no regrets about my choice to stay with Bradford through the hectic Christams period rather than play in these Internationals even though its always a huge honour.9 November 2009
SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD HALL OF FAME AWARD

It was a massive privellage to be inducted into the Show Racism The Red Card Hall Of Fame last wednesday evening at Londons City Hall. The evening also marked the opening of the new office for London and the South East. Some of the other inductees include Rio Ferdinand, Thiery Henry, Brandon Batson and Sol Campbell The Red Card campaign has grown from strength to strength over the years and it has been great to be involved in spreading the anti-racism message throughout the game of football. Some of the guests present were Harry Basset, Luther Blisset who presented my award and Leroy Rosenoir.KICK IT OUT ROADSHOW

A few weeks ago I was involved in the kick it out roadshow at Valley Parade to discuss all issues regarding race and equality throughout all levels of the game from grassrooots football to proffessional level. The event was part of the one game one community national campaign to eradicate all racism from football.Its important to spread these messages and it was great to see members of the local community present. Some of the people involved were Piara Power, Ikram Butt and Ian Omenroyd from the community department from Bradford City.

TEAM OF THE WEEK

11 August 2009
CLUB CAPTAIN


Hopefully the team can start to get a few positive results and push up the table even though its still very early days. We have four or five new players so it will take time for them to settle and for the team to get an understanding. I dont think we should read too much into league positions after 2-3 games because after a win or two we could be right up at the top end.

PRE SEASON TRAINING BEGINS!




We reported back to pre season training on Wednesday (01/07/09). The first day consisted of Fitness Testing at Leeds University. The tests ranged from The Bleep Test, Agility Tests, Jumping, Sit and Reach and we also got tested on our Height, Weight and Body Fat. I felt pretty good in the tests but can hopefully continue to get even fitter as pre season goes on. The rest of the week consisted of light ball work and aerobic based runs to gradually increase our base fitness. Overall the first went very well and was carefully planned by the staff so it was not too hard too soon but instead nice and progressive. I am looking forward to the first pre season friendly against Premiership new boys Burnley at Valley Parade on saturday.

Asians In Football Forum

On Monday (11/05/09) I was in attendance of The National Asians In Football Forum at Manchester Citys Eastlands Stadium. The evening saw discussions varying from the lack of Asians in the game to the areas that need to be addressed at Grassroots level to bring about a change. The Panel consisted of Myself, Adnan Ahmed (Tranmere Rovers Fc), Allision Vaughn (Kick It Out) and Brendon Batson (right) who is head of Equality at The FA. Hopefully some action will finally be taken based on the findings to increase Asian partcicipation by the governing bodies.5 May 2009

CHELSEA F.C SEARCH FOR AN ASIAN STAR!

Earlier in the week I did interviews with Eastern Eye, The BBC Asian Network and The Official Chelsea Website.
It was to promote Chelseas serach For An Asian Star project which they have just launched.
It basically a trial for Asian Kids, based around The Football Icon Programme, with the winner getting a place at the Chelsea Academy.
Nicolas Anelka and Greame Le Saux are also involved and as an Asian footballer Chelsea asked me to lend my support.
Even though Chelsea are Rivals to my parent club QPR and my first club Fulham I was more than happy to do it.
Anything that helps get more Asian kids playing football is good for me.
