“I am still reeling from the shock of hearing this sad news. Prasanta may be gone but he will never be forgotten. His memory will linger on in the hearts and minds of the Mohammedan Sporting Club faithful.” he further added.

Dora played an important role in Mohammedan Sporting Club’s run to the final in Federation Cup 2002/03.

Tomorrow Mohammedan Sporting Club flag will be lowered to half-mast to mark the day of mourning.
