History
Football has been played in Malaya for a long years. Perak has sent a football team to play in Malaya Cup since its inaugural season in 1921.[8] They were also one of the founding members of the Malayan Football Association (the predecessor of the modern Football Association of Malaysia) which happened in 1926.[9]
However, only on 18 April 1951, the team has been officially registered and now managed by the newly formed governance body of Perak football, the Perak Amateur Football Association (PAFA).[10][11] Since then, the football team has been competing in Malaya Cup consistently.
Perak TBG also is the only team in Malaysia that has never been demoted to a lower division since the Malaysian football league competition was introduced in 1982.
Perak TBG finished the 2004 season of the Super League Malaysia in second place, behind Kedah FA. Perak, having played well all season, had been the league leaders and favourites going into the final two matches, but a 2–2 draw with Terengganu FA in their penultimate match enabled Kedah FA to pip them to the title. At the end of the season, team management announced that it would not retain several senior players who were originally contracted until October 2007 due to financial constraints.[12]
Perak started the 2008 season by losing several key players, including midfielder Yusri Che Lah, Abdoulaye Traoré, Vedran Kukoc and top scorer Keita Mandjou. They did, however, manage to secure the services of national player Mohammad Hardi Jaafar from the now-defunct Melaka TMFC. On 9 November, they announced the arrivals of two Chilean players, Mario Berrios and Jorge Munoz. It emerged at the end of the season that the team were facing financial difficulties, resulting in an exodus of a majority of their players.[13] The team was also unable to retain the services of their foreign players due to a new ruling introduced by the Football Association of Malaysia.[14]
For the 2010 season, Yang Mulia Raja Azlan Shah Raja So'ib was announced as the new Perak's team coach, replacing outgoing Dato' M. Karathu.[15] Fielding a youthful squad yet again, Perak endured a difficult 2010 season, finishing eleventh with 30 points from 26 matches. Once again, they were failed to make it from the group stage of the Malaysia Cup and were eliminated from the Malaysia FA Cup in the second round.
On 25 October 2010, Tuan Haji Norizan Bakar was appointed the new coach.[16] Once again, Perak will be using with a youthful team for the 2011 season, with nearly 70 percent of the squad's players being between the ages of 17 and 25, but also featuring experienced former internationals such as Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli, Mohd Nasril Mat Nourdin, Chan Wing Hoong and Shahrulnizam Mustapa.[17]
On 19 July 2012, it was announced that Jang Jung will take over his former team Perak's head coach position from Norizan Bakar on an interim basis until the end of the 2012 Malaysia Cup campaign.[3] His spell with Perak was a disappointing one, recording only one win, while suffering three draws and two defeats in six Malaysia Cup group stage matches, failing to qualify to the quarter-finals. His contract was not renewed after the Malaysia Cup exit.
On 15 October 2012, Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah was announced as Perak's new team coach.
For the 2014 season, Abu Bakar Fadzim was announced as the new Perak's team coach, replacing Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah & 2015 season, Dato' M. Karathu was announced new head coach.[18][19]
In February 2016, the club has been rebranded as Perak The Bos Gaurus or Perak TBG as part of its privatisation plan to play in Malaysia Super League.[5][6][7]

While the stadium can fit 42,500 fans, the club has only utilised 32,000 for its home match and even lower to 24,000 in order to provide a better sitting for the fans.[21] The stadium is located in Kampung Simee in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

It was put under the administration of the Ipoh City Council, which oversees the general upkeep of the stadium until this day.
Since the last refurbishment in 1997, the capacity of the stadium is 42,500.[22]
Crest and colours
Crest
Perak The Bos Gaurus has historically utilised one primary crest. The first, adopted when the club was founded, was the image of a Malayan Tiger, where it is famous in Malaya and remained for more than half-century. In 2015, in effort to modernise the club, a new crest was introduced to replace the old crest as the club main crest. The club replaced the old crest with new logo and adopted the image Seladang which is more synonym with the Perak football team.[23] After being criticized for the lack of quality for the logo, Perak The Bos Gaurus launched a new version of the logo chosen from the logo competition held by the team for 2016 season onwards.[24]
