Timeline
Majid Beshkar (born August 6, 1956) is a retired Iranian professional footballer.
He is best known for his contributions towards the Indian football clubs East Bengal and Mohammedan, both based in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal.
He was popularly known as "Badshah" in Calcutta Maidan.
During the 1970s he moved to Aligarh Muslim University in India to study.
On seeing his performance for the university in the North Zone Inter University championship, Bishkar was signed by East Bengal FC along with other Iranian players Jamshid Nassiri and Mahmud Khabbasi.
He represented the Iranian national football team at the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina.
Bishkar was included in the Iran national football team for the 1978 FIFA World Cup.
Iran made its debut World Cup appearance after defeating Australia in Tehran.
Iran lost two of three group stage matches against the Netherlands and Peru, and Iran's journey ended early for the group stages.
At club level, Majid began his career in his hometown of Khorramshahr with Rastakhiz FC and then moved to the Tehran Province League with Shahin Tehran FC as a forward, where he played until 1979.
An attacking midfielder, Bishkar also played as a forward in a 4–2–4 formation, and guided SC East Bengal to win the Indian Federation Cup in 1980.
The 1980 Federation Cup was his debut tournament with the Red and Golds, where he won the tournament with them.
In the same season, East Bengal also won the Rovers Cup where he played a key role.
East Bengal signed him shortly afterwards.
He was known as Majid Baskar in India, a mispronunciation and misspelling which led to difficulties for both Iranian and Indian officials in unveiling the true identity of Majid.
Bishkar played imaginative football throughout and was primarily instrumental in East Bengal's winning the IFA Shield (joint winners) and Darjeeling Gold Cup.
In the Shield final, he set up CB Thapa to score a magnificent goal after playing four wall-passes with others.
At the Darjeeling Gold Cup too, he was unstoppable and was the main prop behind the Red and Golds 3–2 triumph over Mohun Bagan.
Overall, Bishkar netted 33 goals for the Red and Gold brigade.
After his brief stint with two Kolkata giants, Bishkar moved to Iran in the 1980s and currently live in Khorramshahr, Khuzestan Province, with his family.
He switched to Mohammedan Sporting Club in 1982, guiding them to a range of trophies including Calcutta Football League and Rovers Cup.
Majid was instrumental for the first win against Mohun Bagan AC in 1983 Federation Cup also helping to lift the trophy in the final.
This win came after late sixties in any form of tournament.
After a brief hiatus at a time when he was surrounded by controversies, he was last seen playing for Mohammedan SC in 1987.
He was relatively unknown in Iran, with both Iranian football journalists and officials being unaware that Majid had previously plied his trade in India.
Due to troubles in his homeland, he eventually got addicted to narcotics and led a bohemian lifestyle.
After a few other unsuccessful stints in other parts of India, he moved back to Iran.
He is still considered one of the best foreigners in the history of Indian club football.
He has a nickname "Badshah" which he got while playing in Kolkata Maidan.
Bishkar cast a magical spell during two seasons at East Bengal and then at Mohammedan Sporting, but as he returned to Kolkata in 2019, after more than three decades, nobody had forgotten the Badshah.
On 1 October 2020, he was admitted to a hospital after a heart attack.
