INFO:
Probably the most complete midfielder Saudi Arabia has produced. Noor was a midfielder with a great balance of attacking and defensive skills, during this era he was a one man army, the leader and driving force of Al-Ittihad. He had a complete physical profile, good technical skills and a strong mentality. Good scorer and playmaker, could provide goals and assists without sacrificing his defensive duties. He was strong in the air, scoring plenty of headers, and was a regular taker of free kicks and penalties. His physical strength and stamina were impressive, allowing him to both keep the ball and win it back. This completeness helped him play in every midfield position and let him contribute in any area of the pitch no matter if his team were winning or losing. With no real weaknesses in his game, he was considered the best player in Saudi Arabia throughout the 2000s. He's considered the biggest legend of Al-Ittihad and the main contributor to their back to back AFC Champions League wins in 2004 and 2005. With the national team his most important contribution was in the 2006 World Cup where he was their best player, especially impressing in a narrow loss to Spain where he was arguably the best player on either team. In that game he didn't look out of place at all with the Spanish midfielders and it would have been interesting to see him play in Europe at his peak.
