SALEMA Place: Navelim (Goa) Position: Striker Played for United Goans Centre (UG) (Pic: SJ SALEMA Seen standing (1st Left) with the UGC Football Team www.goa-world.com archives - Photo by Rewon Gomes) www.goa-world.com/goa/sports/ Playing in Kuwait since 1983, Joseph Salema, undoubtedly, is one of the legends of Indian Football in Kuwait and still at his best. During his peak form, Salema was the most dangerous player anywhere near the D-Area. Fast as the wind, tough as a bull and still a disciplined footballer, Salema could go past any defence with his magical dribbling and bullet 'shots' with his gifted left foot. A star player of Mafatlal Bombay (now defunct), Salema went on to play for Maharashtra and Junior India. Playing for Navelim Sporting back home in Inter-village tournaments, Salema was a 'Hero from Kuwait' -- welcome anytime he came down on vacation. Supporters used to go crazy to watch this mercurial striker and many youngsters, who did not know see him often, wondered why the Goan top Division teams never roped him in, then. He was a star at every tournament especially in Salcete. The fact that this young warrior can still put it past defenders much younger his age speaks about his ability as a dedicated footballer. Remembering his younger days Salema says, "I was selected to participate in the Asian Championship'82 at Salt Lake, Calcutta but due to a knee injury during training I lost the opportunity. I also had an invitation letter from Mohan Bagan which I declined as I was too young to take the decision at that time; the letter, however has remained as a souvenir." Kuwait Indians are proud to have Salema playing at Soor and guiding younger players. His efforts to promote Indian Football game in Kuwait shall never be forgotten.
