Datuk Rashid Sidek talks to Timesport: On the Beat on how it all began in Malaysia's most famous badminton-playing family.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Sidek brothers are etched in badminton history for their unforgettable contribution to Malaysia's 1992 Thomas Cup triumph.

The evergreen Datuk Rashid Sidek, in an interview with Timesport: On the Beat, credited his late father, Datuk Sidek Abdullah Kamar, for their heroics.

At the 1992 Thomas Cup in Kuala Lumpur, Rashid was unbeatable in all his matches as the first singles while his brothers Razif, Jalani and Rahman were also part of the magnificent side that dethroned holders China 3-2 in the semi-finals and Indonesia 3-2 in the final to end Malaysia's 25-year-wait for the prestigious trophy.
