I-League: Top five current Indian players without a top flight league title

Liverpool captain and legend Steven Gerrard will always be regarded as one of the best players of his generation but the regret of not winning a league title will remain. Indian football too has some outstanding individual players who still haven’t tasted league success.

Sportskeeda lists the top five current Indian players who are yet to win a top flight league title.

Note: Both the National Football League (NFL) and I-League are being considered. The list is in no particular order

Subrata Pal

Subrata has played for four different clubs over nine years but has never really come close to the league crown. Besides a couple of third-place finishes (one each for Mohun Bagan and Pune FC), the 26-year-old has mostly had to settle for the top five or top six.

His best season individually was the 2007-08 campaign when he was adjudged the best goalkeeper but all that hard work was to save East Bengal from relegation. Subrata, who is currently contracted with IMG-Reliance for the proposed IPL-style tournament, is the last goalkeeper to score in an Indian top flight league match but he wouldn’t want to be remembered as the best custodian not to win the I-League.
