Hans Nahar (6 September 1910 – 24 October 1992) was a Surinamese footballer who played as a striker. Nahar represented 3 different countries over the course of his 19-year international career.[3]
Harry came from a family that did reasonably well: his father was an accountant which was a great job at the time. Harry, 'Hans' for football fans, grew up in Albina for a large part of his life with two brothers and four sisters. Even as a child, Hans would kick anything in sight, including cobblestones. His parents' biggest concern was his shoes which would have to be repaired several times. When Hans was still a boy, there were very few sports fields available in Suriname. Young football players had no choice but to use the yard or the street as a football field. Hans started his footballing career at the age of 8 in 1918, for the team Saramaccastraat.[2]
