This year we also lost some famous football personalities. Indian football legends Pradip Kumar Banerjee(23rd June 1936-20th March 2020)passed away; we lost 'Chuni Goswami'(15thJan 1938-30th April 2020) and, Yesterday was also a black day for me because another legend of football 'Diego Amando Maradona'(Oct30,1960- Nov25,2020), passed away.

Pradip Kumar Banerjee:- In 1950, Between 'Patal Danga Street' and 'Kole market'(Kolkata), two famous personalities came to stay in rent. The distance between the two places was about four and a half minutes. One was a fictional character creator great 'Narayan Gangopadhyay'(the creator of the famous fictional character was TeniDa' in "charmurti").
