PETALING JAYA: Former Kedah midfielder and current technical director Nelson San Martin has issued a heartfelt public appeal, revealing he is battling severe financial hardship after months of unpaid wages.

Once a key figure in Kedah’s historic double treble triumphs in 2007 and 2008, the Chilean is now facing one of the toughest periods of his life off the pitch, struggling to make ends meet while still under contract with the club.
