Being greeted at club tent [Image source] As an East Bengal fan I keep my fingers firmly crossed at the prospect in forthcoming season, yet can’t conceal exuberance ever since Subrata Bhattacharjee took over as coach. Subrata was Mohun Bagan’s coach when it won NFL title 2-1/2 times (the half is because MB was runner-up […]
Kolkata’s Chinese
