1911 Centenary – Fans speak round the globe

Mohun Bagan fans share their emotions on the 1911 centenary. Here’s how they share their feelings –

Dr. Raj Shankar Ghosh  came up with a poem –

Goal e Hiralal, dan e Bhuti Babu
Ba dik samle Sudhir
Ak lakh lok, aj jomayet
Football math e bhir.

Monomohon er majh math
Sathe Rajendrath Sen
Nilmadhab er karamoti aj
Gora rayi dekhben.

Habul r Kanu r jutir chonde
Charkhar Gora dol
Bangali r mone phurti byapok
Bijoy er pa e ball.

Shibdas Babu somota pheran
Sesh hasi Abhilash
Mohun Bagan Bangalir buk e
Sona jhora itihas.
