Football Game !!! --- by Mario Goveia I wish I had kept my old pictures, but I played for the Jabalpur University Football team from 1957 (the inaugural year of Jabalpur University - previously Sagar University), when I was an Inter Sc. student at St. Aloysius College, to 1960, when I was a second year student at GEC, and Captained the University team. We reached the national semi-finals in 1959 and 1960, losing to the eventual winners, Calcutta, both years. In 1960 we did not lose on the field, but by a heartbreaking coin-toss, since we had tied three times. That was the year one of the stands collapsed when we were playing against Calcutta in Napier Town, many were injured, and the game was moved to Nagpur.
I came to the US in 1971 as an MBA student at the University of Michigan, after having worked for L&T in Mumbai, and helped to start Telco's Pimpri project in 1966. I live in Toledo, Ohio. -- While going through the archives of http://www.goa-world.com we accidentally found this item linked to the GEC Jabalpur US Alumni Association there! Although not 100% verifiable, it could be related to our good cyber comrade - the author of the above mentioned article. We look forward to hearing from Mr. Mario Goveia, if the above is true. Keep up the good debate going on issues of relevance to Goa and Goans, at large.
