My close association and relationship with Mr. Prasun Banerjee, an icon of Indian Football, is something that makes me proud and privileged. Before coming into the personal contact with him, I had knowledge only about his huge technical efficiency in the game of soccer. But afterward by virtue of the growing intimacy through constant personal interaction, I’ve realized how gentle, kind, honest he is as a human being. He is a nice family-man. The prestigious green-maroon Mohunbagan-jersey that he gifted to me during his family-tour to my house is kept with the most care in my collection. His brother-like love and affection toward me and my family, his motivating and encouraging advice to me, his innocent sharing of personal happiness and sorrow with me, his respect toward my highest academic degree, all together have made him a real friend not only to me but to my family as well . “Hats off to you, Prasunda. You’re an inspirational character to me”.
