Sailendra Nath Manna (Bengali: শৈলেন মান্না; 1 September 1924 – 27 February 2012), known popularly as Sailen Manna,[2][3] was an Indian football player who represented the India national team between 1948 and 1956.[4] Predominantly played as a left-back,[5] Manna is considered as one of the best defenders the country has ever produced.[6][7] He has represented and captained India in different international competitions, including the Olympics[8][9] and Asian Games.[10] In 1971 Manna was awarded with Padma Shri by Government of India.[11]
In club football Manna has represented Mohun Bagan,[12][13] one of the oldest clubs in India,[14] for a continuous period of 19 years.[15] He was conferred with the inaugural Mohun Bagan Ratna award in 2001.[16] Manna was the only Asian footballer to be named among the ten best Captains in the world by the English FA in 1953.[17]
Early life
Sailendra Nath Manna was born in a Mahishya family in Byantra, Howrah at his maternal home. His mother's name was Gouri Devi, and father was Fanindra Nath Manna, who had ancestral house in Ramnathpur, Hooghly. Manna later shifted to Bidhannagar FD block.[18]
Manna started his playing career with Howrah Union, then a club in the second Division of the Kolkata Football League, in 1940.[15][20][21] After turning out for the club for a couple of seasons, he joined Mohun Bagan in 1942 and continued playing for the club till his retirement in 1960.[22] Between 1950 and 1955, he featured as the club's captain.[15] During his 19-year association with the club as player, he reportedly earned only ₹19.[23] Speaking to Sportstar in 2006, he reasoned that he "played out of love for the sport and was happy with the salary I got from my employer, the Geological Survey of India."[24]
Manna used to keep a picture of the Hindu deity Kali, tucked away in his pocket. Two of his greatest regrets in life are missing the first penalty kick against France in the London Olympics, and turning down the chance of taking the second penalty because he was afraid of missing again, and India had not gone to the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil,[52][53][54][55] with him as captain, because the Indian Football Federation had not realized its importance.[56][57][58]
Manna also appeared with the India against numerous visiting European teams in exhibition matches in 1954, including a 1–0 defeat to Allsvenskan club AIK at CC&FC Ground in Kolkata.[59] He hung up his boots on 27 August 1960 after playing in India's international charity match against Indonesia in New Delhi.[60]
After being unwell for quite some time, Manna died at a private hospital in Kolkata on Monday, 27 February 2012. He was 87 years old and was survived by his wife and daughter.[66]
Legacy
I have no hesitation in calling him one of the best footballers of the country. He was definitely an accomplished player and also endeared everyone with his great human qualities.
— Samar Banerjee, former Indian captain and Olympian, on Manna in March 2012.[67]
"He was a great defender, with one of the best tackles in business. His man-marking was perfect and it was a tough task for any striker to go past him."
"Manna da never retaliated and remained a perfect gentleman. He was never booked during his very long career!"
