Sir, Badru Banerjee deserves more
Former India football team captain Samar ‘Badru’ Banerjee, who led the country to a historic fourth-place finish in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics is no more.We should have football stadium or football league named after him.That’s the only gratitude we can pay for him.The reason is Indian football teams have participated in three Olympics so far and till date, the Badru Banerjee-led 1956 side remains the best, when it finished fourth after losing to Bulgaria 0-3 in the bronze medal playoff, in what was known as the ‘golden era’ of football in the country. No football lover of the nation cannot forget the famous victory by 4-2 against Aussies in that Olympics.
