A must for Bongs & all football fans.
This is a book which passionately discusses the highs of Indian football which was world class in 1950-60s when we repeatedly performed well on international level. Greats of yesteryears come and they are from across India. The author, a football / spirts journalist has put in his heart in writing this book. It’s a TREAT.

A passionate follower of Indian football
As an ardent football fan.. more so an Indian football enthusiast.. Novi sir sir's poetic commentary has long been missed.. this book details the journey of Indian football from its nascent stage.. for lanes and bylane of North Kolkata to its Maidan.. the colonial influence in Goanese football.. a detailed history fro Rahim sir to PK Banerjee to Chuni Goswami..to Amal Datta sir..Syed Nymuddin.. to recently past poster boys Bhaichung Bhutia and equally talented IM Vijayan..

Wonderful book
The only bad thing I felt was that I read this book after Novy left us. What a book, how I would have loved to have interact with him. An absolute must read for fans of Indian football.

Its the 'history textbook' of Indian football
There is a coincidence.I finished the book during the World Cup and whilst I am writing the review,Mr.Kapadia is commentating.Anyways,coming to the book.Its a collection of tales told by the grand old man of Indian football.It is obvious that some parts have been stretched and some have been cut short.But anyways,its a only of a kind history book of Indian football and is a near perfect account of the beautiful game in India.
