King And I: Mohun Bagan Veterans Share Memories Of Playing Against Pele In Kolkata In 1977
It was in 1977 that the 21-month-long oppressive regimen of internal emergency came to an end and was thus worth cherishing. For the people of West Bengal, it heralded the beginning of the 34-year Left Front rule in the State.
The year 1977 was memorable for football fans in Kolkata and a team from the iconic Mohun Bagan club as they saw football royalty in person as the legendary Pele, the three-time World Cup winner, visited the City of Joy for an exhibition match.
