NEW DELHI: Indian football legend I M Vijayan on Friday advised his one-time strike partner Bhaichung Bhutia to take the defeat in the All India Football Federation (AIFF) presidential polls in "sportsmanship spirit".
Former captain Bhutia, a junior contemporary of Vijayan, lost the election for the AIFF president's post by a big margin of 33-1 to former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey.
