5 greatest players in I-League history

Odafa Onyeka Okolie

#4 Ranti Martins

Ranti Martins

Ranti’s greatest season in India came in 2011/12 when he scored 32 goals for Dempo as the Goan side won their third I-League title. Ranti was the typical no. 9. He was strong, he was powerful, he was quick and he did not let defenders breathe easy for a moment.

Although his greatest achievements came with Dempo, he has not fared too badly in recent seasons either. He moved to United Sports Club and then to East Bengal but his goalscoring exploits never stopped.

In 244 games in Indian football, Ranti scored 214 goals. Like Odafa, his goals to game ratio was astonishing.

Not surprisingly, Ranti was adjudged the best player in the league in 2011/12 and he has been named the best forward in the league on multiple occasions.

Even last year when he was nowhere near his peak, he was the top-scorer in the I-League. That is what Ranti Martins did. It did not matter how well he was playing, he somehow always scored goals.
