Besides being a fierce goal scorer, Khalil was known for his extreme honesty and integrity, he had a famous incident in the 1978–79 league season, where he scored a goal which passed through the outer torn net and landed in the goal against Ismaily. Unfortunately, this goal was important in the chase for the title, however he encountered the referee Ahmed Bilal, the referee of the match, and Khalil said to the referee that the ball was not a goal, and the goal was canceled after it had been awarded amid major objections from the Ismaily players and fans.[4][5] Khalil was the Egyptian Premier League's top scorer in 1976-77 (shared with Hassan Shehata) with 17 goals and 1979–80 with 12 goals.[6][7] In 1980, Khalil, 28, retired from football at relatively young age and became a coach for youth teams.[8][9]
