today is dominated by big-name superstars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who score tremendous amounts of goals
and grab all the headlines. Players often want to emulate Wayne Rooney and Samuel Eto'os; they idolize these players who
receive so much attention from the media for doing their job. But often, there are great players in World Football who don't
receive the attention they deserve at all. Maybe because they don't play in an attractive position, or maybe they play at a small
club like Chetri(35), Sandhu(28), Lalengmawia(19); even if they give their 100 percent effort, but often we can see that they
don't receive the credit they deserve for it. But if you are someone who loves the game, you know that every position has its
importance and every player has a job to do. And whether the job gets done well or not we must always applaud the players.
FIFA WORLDCUP - madness that circles the nation is something worth watching! And it does not matter how we, Indians, are
crazy for this madness; our country does not qualify to be on the list of FIFA anyway. It’s the pain and agony that we have been
bearing since 1930 when India did not take part because, as the speculations say, we played barefoot!, even India qualified in
1950 but they have no entries in the tournament. On the contrary, we never glorified the one great footballer of India,
midfielder Abdul Latif(Assam) who was a key member of the 1970 Bangkok Asian Games represented and bagged the bronze
medal along with the team India. He has also represented India in Asia Cup Qualifier in 1968 in Myanmar and Merdeka Cup in
1969 - a match in which he even scored a goal against Singapore resulting in a win of 3-0. There is no football club in India
where there is no player from the northeastern region. Some of them achieve great success for both the country and club,
like Bhaichung Bhutia, Irungbam Surkumar Singh, Dhanachandra Singh, Udanta Singh, etc while the rest thrive in the club level
only. But when did it start? Can anyone guess when this uneven and most remote area of India gets familiar with the most
beautiful game which is named as football? Well! It started about 80 years ago when a brilliant student of Cotton College in
Assam embraced football along with his study of MBBS. I am talking about Dr. Talimeren Ao(Nagaland), the first Indian football
team Captain. He was selected as the General Secretary of Sports & Athletics in the College. In 1939 T.Ao helped his college to
win many tournaments held in Guwahati. He even made an unofficial Indian record of 23 feet in the high jump in that year. In
1943 he joined Mohun Bagan A.C, where he played for nine years. He was also the Captain of Mohun Bagan from 1948-1949.
He won IFA Shield twice, Calcutta League thrice, Lady Hardinge Shield, Coochbehar Cup thrice, Raja Shield and Trades
Cup(5times) with the Green and Maroons. The greatest achievement in the life of Dr. T Ao came in 1948. Indian football team
decided to compete in the London Olympics, 1948 for the first time since independence. T Ao was elected the Captain of that
team. But in India's first major international tournament, where a predominantly barefooted Indian team lost 2-1 to France. It
is unknown to many Indians that our first Captain was given an offer by Arsenal Football Club but T Ao refused the offer for the
love of his nation. T Ao went on to lead the Indian team in many friendly matches in Wales, Netherlands (then known as
Holland), Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh from 1949 to 1951. The first footballer from Mizoram to
play at a top-flight club in India, Shylo Malsawmtluanga enjoys a cult status in his home state. Popularly known as 'Mama'
among Indian football fans, Malsawmtluanga's move to East Bengal in 2002 inspired many Mizo youngsters to follow in his
footsteps. He went on to win two league titles and the 2003 ASEAN Cup with the Kolkata giants, among other trophies. The 30-
year-old, however, has surprisingly played for India on only three occasions so far in his career. These players of India, not
only made India proud but also contributed a great lesson that today’s footballers need the most – ‘ when there’s a will,
there’s a way.’ Highlander Brigade is a supporters' club of NorthEast United Football Club that plays in the Indian Super
League
