The Salgaocar legend speaks about the importance in having love and passion for the beautiful game...
When you talk of the legendary Goan footballer Menino Anjos Figueiredo, one has to rewind all the way back to Goa's pre-liberation days.
He started playing at the club level at age of 17 with MCC and was included in the Goa Selection team against visitors Benfica from Portugal and the Karachi Port Trust side at the Panjim Police Grounds in 1959. He also made it to the Goa XI squad that was to tour Portugal.
However, Goa's Liberation from the Portuguese rule in 1961 stalled the tour to Portugal.
