FPA’s help to former players
Kolkata: Diego Maradona’s recent visit to the city has brought joy to the life of three former players — Abdus Sattar, Krishna Chandra Pal and Ashoke Chatterjee.
The three, reeling under poverty, were handed over Rs. 1,63,000 each at a function here by the Football Players’ Association (FPA), who received Rs. 500,000 from the organiser of the Maradona trip. Olympians Sattar and Pal were present on the occasion, while Chatterjee could not make it to the function as he was sick. The families of the three players were also present. Sattar played in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, while Pal represented India in the Melbourne Games. — PTI
