He will be missed surely. The days of radio, his voice was easily recongnizable... along with him, Towfique Aziz Khan, Khoda Box Mridha.. all the voices we heard when we were kids watching soccer!!

Looks like Banglanews24 were too hopeful!. They removed the news as well from their front page.

Abdul Hamid passes away



Abdul Hamid


Star Online Report
Abdul Hamid, noted sports commentator and one of the pioneers of sports journalism in the country, died at a city hospital Saturday morning at the age of 77.

Hamid breathed his last around 6:20am at United Hospital in Gulshan where he was undergoing treatment for bone cancer, his daughter-in-law Israt Quiyum Soma confirmed.

The first namaz-e-janaza of Hamid will be held at his Niketon residence after Zohr prayer, family sources said.

Later, his body will be taken to Gendaria East and Club Field and Bangabandhu National Stadium where his second and third namaz-e-janazas will be held respectively.

The sports editor of Daily Amader Somoy will be buried at Mirpur Martyred Intellectual Graveyard today.

He left behind his wife, a son, a daughter and a host of relatives to mourn his death.

Hamid was admitted to the hospital on July 23 with acute back pain and was put on life-support on Friday after his condition suddenly deteriorated.

The noted commentator had had an operation on his prostate gland on June 12.

Rest In Peace.

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
His voice will be missed !!

[bujhee kom]

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
Allah bless his soul.

May GOD rest his soul in peace.

My uncle Abdullah Al Faruque is a founder of Shadhin Bangla Betar Kendro and mom was a news presenter on radio and TV since the Radio Pakistan and PTV years. My mom always trusted Hamid Uncle to take me to soccer games during the 70s. It was great fun to sit silently next to him as he did play-by-play commentary for the radio.

He would always take me inside a Gulistan gali for postgame nan and Kabab, and introduced me to stadium tea, something I still love. A lovely and approachable man who won the world over with his smile and warmth, I'll always remember of him for his almost childlike love of sports. His electric passion always rubbed off on everyone around him.

His voice on my SW radio kept me connected to things after moving to the US. He will be sorely missed, especially at this age when our so called sports journos seem more interested in polemics, editorializing and flaunting decent writing ability than solid and interesting play-by-play reporting because their fanboys also couldn't care less about context.

May Allah rest his soul in piece and my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
