Gholam Hossein Mazloumi (Persian: غلامحسین مظلومی; January 13, 1950 – November 19, 2014), nicknamed Sar Talaei ("Golden Head"), was an Iranian football player, coach and football administrator.
He played for three clubs including Taj Abadan, Taj Tehran (Esteghlal), and Shahbaz FC, as well as the Iranian national team and the national youth team of Iran. He also managed Esteghlal from 1988 to 1989. During his time as a football player, he scored 37 goals for the Iran national football team and was Iran's all-time top scorer for twelve years before his record being broken by Ali Daei. He was the top scorer at the 1974 Asian Games and the 1976 AFC Asian Cup.
He was chairman of Shahin Bushehr from 2011 until 2013 and also honorary deputy chairman of Esteghlal. He died on 19 November 2014 after being diagnosed with stomach cancer two years earlier.
Gholam Hossein Mazloumi was born on 13 January 1950 in Abadan, Iran. His younger brother, Parviz is also a former footballer and coach.
When playing for Taj Tehran, he was one of the key players. In those years he won the Asian Club Championship in the 1969–70 season as well as the Iranian league in 1970–71 and 1974–75, and he reached the second place in 1973–74. Mazloumi is considered to be one of the finest strikers in Iranian football history as evidenced by total goal tally for the National Team scoring the most goals in the least number of caps. Mazloumi was a great finisher, rarely missing sure-goal opportunities.
