In the 80s when we went to school and college we had some tremendous athletes among us. We had a football player (1) who could score from beyond half field and ball control was beyond imagination (mesi type). He never lost to anyone in Table tennis in his entire life inside the college. He use to play Cricket, Hockey, Basketball, volleyball and was very good at those. Then again he stood
1st in SSC and 2nd in HSC. So instead of becoming an athlete he became an engineer (RIT - USA). In one of the regional soccer tournaments there he score 11 goals in 6 matches. Then settled in Australia. Another one, was a boss hockey and cricket player. Couldn't be stopped in the soccer field as well. As you can tell he was tremendously gifted in Basketball and Volleyball as well.
SSC 10th, HSC 11th - same story BUET and then settled in CANADA. Another
one SSC 5th, HSC 21st. he use to be Clive Loyd type in cricket field. Yup Engineer (USA) now settled in UAE. We had several talented athletes who could challenge BKSP (just started then). This is from only 56 students class without formal training in sports and heavily in to studies. I am sure every batch from any cadet college has classic athletes who could shine if they had concentrated in those field. Instead, like brain drain we all left the country and all the bad folks are running them now.
