The Santosh Trophy was 1972 but the Goa-Bengal semi-final
(the closest Goa came in the old days to getting into the
finals) was at Tilak maidan (maybe the first leg was at
Campal).

RESPONSE: It was 1972 but where exactly was the game played? Vasco Sports
Club states "Dr Rajendra Prasad Stadium in Margao". A. Veronica Fernandes'
recollections of that fateful tournament are archived here too and he states
the two legs were played at "Margao MMC stadium " and "Vasco stadium".
Eugene Correira has written extensively here re Goan soccer players and
their successes.....maybe he recollects where??

on him as a toddler.....:-)
With the EURO slated for this summer, I'm sure we will hear more football
stories of yore. Who has placed money on 8th ranked Portugal??
