Indian football legend Mohammed Habib passes away

KOLKATA: Indian football lost a stellar playmaker in the passing of Mohammed Habib on Tuesday. He was a footballer far ahead of his time.

Born in Hyderabad, Habib was the Bade Miya of the maidans of Kolkata, where he plied his trade with distinction for Bengal in Santosh Trophy and the famed troika of Kolkata clubs. He was the top scorer with 11 goals when Bengal won the Santosh Trophy in 1969 with a hat-trick each against Madras and Services.
