Cricket after football for Indian legend Chuni Goswami

After hanging up his boots, Indian football legend Subimal 'Chuni' Goswami felt like his career as a sportsperson was incomplete. That, perhaps, explains his career as a first-class cricketer. That is correct, he was not just a footballer.

Chuni Goswami played professional football for more than 10 years, for Mohun Bagan and Indian national team. In 1962, the footballer, who once chose to reject an invite for trials by Tottenham Hotspur to stay in Kolkata, kickstarted a career in cricket.
