Career
At the club level, Majid played for Rastakhiz F.C. and Shahbaz in Iran before moving to Aligarh Muslim University in India to study. East Bengal signed him shortly afterwards. He was known as Majid Baskar in India, a mispronunciation and misspelling which led to difficulties for both Iranian and Indian officials in unveiling the true identity of Majid.
After a brief hiatus at a time when he was surrounded by controversies, he was last seen playing for Mohammedan South Carolina in 1987.
He was relatively unknown in Iran, with both Iranian football journalists and officials being unaware that Majid had previously plied his trade in India. Due to troubles in his homeland, he eventually got addicted to narcotics.
After a few other unsuccessful stints in other parts of India, he moved back to Iran. He is still considered one of the best foreigners in the history of Indian club football.
