1972

Sami Abdullah Al-Jaber (سامي الجابر; born 11 December 1972) is a Saudi Arabian football manager and former professional player who played as a striker.

He spent the entirety of his career with Al-Hilal, apart from a five-month loan to English club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

1989

Al-Jaber made his Al-Hilal debut in 1989 and spent nearly 20 years at the club.

1992

Al-Jaber is his country's second highest international goal-scorer with 46 goals in 156 internationals from 1992 to 2006.

1994

He appeared in four consecutive FIFA World Cup tournaments, from 1994 to 2006, scoring in three of them.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Saudi footballers ever.

1998

On 27 May 1998, Al-Jaber made his 100th international appearance in a friendly against Norway.

At 25 years, four months and 16 days old, this made him the youngest male footballer to reach 100 caps.

1999

He became the first Saudi coach to manage Al-Hilal after 14 years of Khalil Ibrahim Al-Zayani in 1999.

2000

In 2000, he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan, where he made just five appearances in five months.

After the club learned that Al-Jaber's father had been taken seriously ill, he was allowed to join the United Arab Emirates side Al-Ain on loan, and this was to spell the end of his time in England.

Even so, to this day Al-Jaber remains one of the very few Saudi footballers to have played outside their homeland.

After gaining a runners-up medal in the 2000 Asian Cup, he appeared in the 2002 World Cup but only played in one game, a 0–8 hammering by Germany.

He was ruled out of the rest of the competition when his appendix burst and he had to be rushed to hospital.

2002

Al-Jaber is an advocate of football reforms, having criticised the Saudi Football Federation for its protectionist policy that prevented Saudi talents from going abroad to play better football after Saudi Arabia became the first team to be knocked out of 2002 FIFA World Cup.
