Indian striker Jobby Justin's bicycle was stolen before he starred in East Bengal's 2-0 win over Mohun Bagan in the second Kolkata Derby of the I-League 2018-19 season on Sunday.
Jobby discovered to his shock that his bicycle was stolen by some miscreant(s) on Friday from his flat.
The Red and Gold Brigade, however, has promised to look out for it and if they don't find it, they would gift him a new bicycle.
Jobby provided an assist for Jaime Colado Santos' first goal and then headed in from a corner to guide the Red and Golds to their first Kolkata Derby double since the 2003-04 NFL (National Football League) season.

Jobby posted a picture of his cycle on Instagram with the caption "Guys my bicycle was stolen. Please help me to find it."
He confirmed it later to Sportskeeda, adding that he was yet to find it. "The supporters have promised to buy me a new one," Jobby said.
Jobby travels by cycle to his training sessions and his games in Kolkata to keep his fitness levels up and body warm before training.
Jobby owns an X Bicycle with Air Dual Disc Brakes and Zoom Suspensions. The cost ranges from Rs 24,000 to Rs 26,000 depending on the add-ons.
Jobby has been in sensational form this season for EB. Jobby has notched up eight goals in this season, the top Indian goalscorer in the I-League. He's third overall in the golden boot race, seven behind leader Willis Plaza of Churchill Brothers and five behind Pedro Manzi (Chennai City).
He has scored in both legs of the Kolkata Derby this season. After Sunday's goal though, he's sure to be remembered for a long time by the East Bengal supporters. He next targets the I-League title with East Bengal.

“From the beginning of the season, I had only one aim – to score goals in every match," Jobby said after the game. "I came in the match with the same motivation. Derby is always a special match for any player. So, scoring in this match feels great. But I need to work hard for the remaining season to help the team win the title.”
