Churchill Win Individual Honours
Churchill Brothers may have lost the Super Cup to Mohun Bagan but the Goan side swept all the individual honours of the season.
27-Apr-2009 5:03:26 AM
Prolific striker Odafa Okolie was named the Best Player of the I-League and also won the Golden Boot for his 26 goals, a record on Indian soil.
Gouramangi Singh won the Best Defender award while midfielder Kalu Nnanna was the Best Midfielder.
In what appeared to be a surprise choice, Churchill custodian Arindam Bhattacharya was honoured as the Best Goalkeeper despite not having started most of the matches and even snubbed in their final I-League game where his loyalties were questioned. Neither did Churchill Brothers have the best defensive record.
The Winners:
Golden Ball and Boot: Odafa Okolie
Best Coach: Zoran Djordjevic
Best Midfielder: Kalu Nnanna
Best Defender: Gouramangi Singh
Best Goalkeeper: Arindam Bhattacharya
Fair Play Trophy: JCT
