INFO:
Bahadur was a half-back, primarily on the left. He played most of his career at East Bengal from 1957 to 1967. A key player for a decade, he helped East Bengal win their second ever Rovers Cup in 1962. An international player, he took part at the 1960 Olympics. Alongside Yousuf Khan and Franco Fortunato, he was part of arguably the greatest midfield in the history of India.
Bahadur was a highly consistent all-round midfielder, a dependable assist-man gifted with superb passing range, crucial for India's attacking plays. He played well in his position, shining throughout his career, showing his skillful style of play. He wasn't only effective at building up the action as he also had the task to mark dangerous opponents like Chuni Goswami and PK Banerjee, resulting successful in most duels. During his first season at East Bengal, he collided with an opponent during a match against Mohammedan, bleeding profusely from the head. He decided not to go out, instead playing with a heavily bandaged head, tackling fiercely, saving numerous goals on the line, and clearing a ball with the injured head, which resulted in another bleeding. He apparently lost consciousness at the end of the match, immediately becoming a fan favourite. PK Banerjee recalled Bahadur's passing, tackling, reading of the game, and tactical intelligence as his greatest qualities. In fact, he could tackle his opponents to regain possession of the ball without playing rough. For this reason, he used to mark some of the trickiest players of his time, never being sent off, gaining the respect from his opponents for his clean playstyle. Another legend, Sailen Manna, pointed out how Bahadur was tireless as covered every inch of the ground, pressing in the midfield, splitting the opposing defence with long passes with fair regularity. Unfortunately, during the historic match against France at the 1960 Olympics, it was the highly reliable Bahadur who made the crucial mistake, losing the ball in the midfield, letting his opponents score the winning goal.
