**Kolkata, India** – Mohun Bagan, one of India’s most historic football clubs, paid tribute to its former president, Tutu Bose, on his 78th birthday. The Mariners Arena fan club unveiled a massive tifo display in the C2 gallery of the Yuva Bharati Krirangan stadium during a match against Bengaluru FC. The tifo, reading “Tutu Bose, The Unforgotten Hero,” celebrated Bose’s decades-long dedication and significant contributions to the club.
Bose, a legendary figure in Mohun Bagan’s history, is revered by fans for his instrumental role in the club’s resurgence in the 1990s. His achievements include signing the club’s first foreign players, bringing in notable talents like Krishanu and Bikash, and setting new standards for the team. He also notably covered a ₹2 crore fine to save the club from relegation, showcasing his unwavering commitment. Further, the fan club credited him with bringing in RPSG Group, a football-enthusiastic organization, replacing an unwilling businessman, a move seen as crucial to the club’s ongoing success.
The Mariners Arena expressed some regret in their Facebook post preceding the tribute, stating that this honor should have been bestowed earlier. They emphasized Bose’s selfless contributions to Mohun Bagan, highlighting the disparity between his immense giving and their inability to repay him adequately. The impressive tifo display served as a powerful testament to the enduring respect and affection that Mohun Bagan fans hold for Tutu Bose.
