Dear Roland/Dr Fred, I totally agree with your sentiments. I would like to mention that whilst Anthony Stanislaus D'Mello is well known in Indian sporting circles what many people do not know is that his older brother Roque died in tragic circumstances. Roque studied at Cambridge University and on his graduation aged 23 was returning back home to undivided India in 1916 when the P & O ship S S Maloja he was travelling was hit by a German uboat in the English Channel. This youngman was given a place on the lifeboat but gave his seat to a young lady. He perished but sadly is unknown in Goa for this heroic deed.
We must remember our heroes as well.

Not that his was a light completely under a bushel. I for one have heard of Anthony de Mello since many years and often, whenever cricket, BCCI and the erstwhile Brabourne Stadium history is a little more than glossed over. The Anthony de Mello Trophy was created in 1951 for all India-England test series and when these series were proposed to be renamed after the Nawab of Pataudi in later years, it was pointed out that the series was already named after Anthony de Mello. So after a compromise all India-England test matches played in India were for the Anthony de Mello Trophy and the same series played in England were for the Nawab of Pataudi Trophy. As for why Goa didn’t honour Anthony de Mello, he was connected with cricket, not football. Roland.
