International Debut
Salahuddin made his International debut in football at Malaysia in 1975 at the Merdeka Cup. At the end of the tournament he and his fellow players came to know about the Assassination of Sheikh Mujib. Coming back to Dhaka Salahuddin saw Abahani devastated and decided to leave the country. So he accepted the proposal to play at the Hong Kong League. There he played for Caroline Hill FC for one season. He came back after playing a solitaire season and rejoined Abahani.
For the next eight years he regularly scored for his club. He went on to become the highest scorer for four consecutive seasons. In 1984, at the peak of his form, Salahuddin decided to retire from football. His two goals in the last league match against Brothers Union brought him the title.

Famous quotes containing the word debut:
“Had I been less resolved to work, I would perhaps had made an effort to begin immediately. But since my resolution was formal and before twenty four hours, in the empty slots of the next day where everything fit so nicely because I was not yet there, it was better not to choose a night at which I was not well-disposed for a debut to which the following days proved, alas, no more propitious.... Unfortunately, the following day was not the exterior and vast day which I had feverishly awaited.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
