#7 Holicharan Narzary
Trending
Over the course of 2016, Narzary became some sort of darling for Stephen Constantine. He was almost ever-present for the national team and it is a huge credit to the young Assamese that he did repay Constantine’s faith in him.
Narzary too played for Dempo before rejoining NorthEast United for the ISL. He played as the central striker for the Goan club, before playing on the wings for the Highlanders. The presence of Emiliano Alfaro meant that Narzary could not be accommodated centrally.
He made 12 appearances for Nelo Vingada in the ISL and largely gave a good account of himself. But it was for the national team that Narzary made the biggest impression. He was a standout player in the SAFF Cup final against Afghanistan. He then helped India win a tough away fixture in Laos in the preliminary qualifier for the Asian Cup and has joined DSK Shivajians for the 2017 I-League.
