INFO:
Ahmed Khan was a left inside. He spent most of his career at East Bengal from 1949 to 1960, scoring 62 goals in all competitions. He was an international player from 1948 to 1954, taking part to the 1948 and 1952 Olympics as well as the 1951 and 1954 Asian Games. He represented India in 11 official matches, scoring 3 times.
Considered one of India's greatest legends, Khan was a roaming attacking player, acclaimed for his sublime style of play made of silken touches, tricky dribbling skills, and impeccable, mesmerising, oustanding close ball control that allowed him to do whatever he wanted. One of the most naturally gifted players, it's said that most of the times he didn't even need to train. A weak header and not one of the most prolific scorers ─ he still scored a good number of goals but way less than other legends of his time ─ he's arguably the first true playmaker in the history of India as he was one of the earliest players who would have more fun at creating scoring chances rather than scoring goals himself. Even when he made one of his clever runs to the box and got in front of the goalkeeper, he preferred passing the ball to the teammate closest to him. Also, he could distribute the ball with accurate passes or through passes with either foot. He moved like an elastic up and down between the midfield and the forward line, even regaining possession of the ball if necessary. Thanks to his outstanding individual talent, Khan could turn the result of a match all by himself. During a game against Sweden in 1949, he had a superb performance that impressed Sweden coach Ulf Leighberg to the point that he commented after the match: « Ahmed Khan had magic in his feet and would have become a world renowned star if he ever played in Europe ». Some recall a spectacular goal he scored ─ barefoot as usual ─ against Yugoslavia at the 1952 Olympics.
