Ali is a name that conjures up images of 'The Greatest'. But to the local fraternity, the name Ali is synonymous with style, grace and sportsmanship on the hockey pitch.
The Ali brothers have become part of Hong Kong's hockey folklore since the foursome burst on the scene 10 years ago to become the SAR's most famous sporting brothers.
Asghar, Akbar, Asif and Arif Ali came as a breath of fresh air in the mid-90s as the four brothers quickly made their mark with their dazzling stickwork, winning many fans for their hockey skills and their tight-knit brotherhood.
The Hong Kong-born foursome are the only four brothers in the world to have played at a major multi-sports competition on the same pitch at the same time. Local hockey officials are hoping to get them listed in the Guinness World Records.
The brothers set the record during the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games, giving the local Pakistani community something to be proud of.
The Ali brothers are the newest crop of siblings to represent Hong Kong at international level, but their act will be hard to emulate considering they have played in not one but three Asian Games in 1998, 2002 and 2006 - that is another one for the record books.
The brothers played together for the last time at last year's Doha Games when Asif and Asghar decided to hang up their boots at international level.
