Gouramangi Singh - $$ INDIA's "CRISIS" MAN $$

Moirangthem Gouramangi Singh is an Indian professional association football player who plays as a centre back for I-League team Churchill Brothers. A product of the Tata Football Academy, he has plied his trade with many clubs in the country including Dempo SC and is currently playing for Churchill Brothers. While at Dempo, Singh won the Federation Cup and the National Football League. Gouramangi is one of the tallest players in the Indian national team and possesses an ability to head the ball strongly especially in set piece situations and is also effective in tackling.[2]
Over the course of his professional career, Singh has won nearly every club trophy in India including the National Football League (which was replaced by the I-League) & the Federation Cup with Mahindra United in 2005/2006 & the I-League in 2009. Singh was also voted best defender in the I-League for the 2008/09 season.[3]
In 2010, Gouramangi was called upon by Melbourne Heart[4] for a trial, which despite reportedly impressing Heart staff, was unsuccessful. It was mutually decided that Gouramangi would not get first opportunities in presence of other stars. Gouramangi first rose to prominence when he captained the winning Indian team (Under 18) at the Ian Rush Trophy in 2003. He played in the Olympic qualifiers for the Indian U-23 team where his defending allowed India to earn an unlikely 1-1 draw with the Iraq U-23 team. In 2007, Singh made his debut for India and was a vital member of the Indian team that won the Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2007 beating Syria.[6] He was also an important part of the victorious India team at the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup.[7] After joining the national team in 2007, Gouramangi has been a vital player in coach Houghton's side.[8] On July 28 2011 Singh scored an important goal for India in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the United Arab Emirates but it did not help as India were knocked out 5-2 on aggregate.
