As Imphal gets ready to host the Indian football team for the first time in history in a Tri-nation tournament, one player who would loved to be have been a part of the historic moment would sadly be watching the game from his home - Jeje Lalpekhlua.
Known as the Mizo Sniper, Jeje was forced to announce his retirement from the game last month after a long struggle with injuries. Still trying to come to terms with the decision, he couldn't hide his excitement at the national team playing in Imphal for the first time.
