GOOD: MATCH Anderson vies with Mohd Amri Yahyah (right) during the friendly match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil

The latest, a group called "Amri Yahyah for Dato' Seri" was formed on Facebook, and six videos highlighting the newly-crowned Malaysia's football "saviour" have been uploaded on YouTube.

According to the administrators, Vincent Liew and Armand Zarim, the group is the "official petition to honour
and reward Amri Yahyah with a Dato' Seri title''. Liew said: "If Shah Rukh Khan can get a Datukship, why can't Amri? Shah Rukh didn't do anything for us, except for the dancing around trees with 40 dancers. Datuk Amri Yahyah is more like it!"

"Luckily Amri didn't score a goal in the rematch. If not, somebody will surely suggest that he gets a Tun instead," said Nasrul Izwan.

Another football fan, Abdul Iqbal Ahmad, said: ‘'Just because he did well during the match, doesn't mean he
should be given a Datukship.

"It was just a friendly match. He still needs to prove that he's a good football player. At least like Lee Chong Wei who brought us to the badminton finals in the Olympics."

YouTube videos of Amri's wonder goal have also been showered with numerous  hits and comments.

To date, the videos have scored a whopping 9,339 hits. Those who sang a different tune feel that United played the game at half pace which resulted in Malaysia scoring two goals.

"Malaysia would've lost. Not to put down our team, but that's the reality. Whatever it is, Amri's first goal was beautiful, so was the second one," said YouTube user ZizouMerci.

Meanwhile, Amri was shocked to learn of the group and thanked them for the support they've given him.

Asked if he'd like to get a title for his performance, Amri said he doesn't mind at all, as long as his performance
as a player gets better.

Last Saturday, Amri scored in the 45th minute, followed by another in the 52nd  minute, making history for
Malaysia after the 2001 game where Malaysia lost 0-6 to United.
