Tang in action in the 70s

Wonder who the long haired guys are Thais or Indonesians in the 70s?

This could be a match from the 1978 Asian Games .The Gold Medalists turned out to be Christian and Ade Chandra. Se Mynahbird2000's Eblog on Asian Games results

Yes, you're right, Christian can be recognised from his behaviour at the forecourt. Size and stature of the partner seem to indicate it as Tjun Tjun.

[mynahbird20000]

Obvious now why he was so feared in his time, his speed about the court

and athletic prowess,unknown at that time (just watch Kops or Tan Joe Hock and compare).Wonder why he never gets injured.

Hello Mynahbird. I think the "longhairs" are Indonesians Christian and Tjun Tjun who normally didn't pair together. I believed that they played Tang and another Chinese player in an exhibition around 1973. If I recall they split two games and did not play a rubber.
