Fikru Teferra Lemessa will always be remembered as the first goal scorer of the ISL. He is also a two-time ISL winner, once with ATK and once with Chennaiyin FC.

Coach Antonio Lopez Habas was not exactly impressed with Fikru's attitude and work ethic, and he took the decision to drop him from the 18-member squad.

Next season, Fikru joined Chennaiyin FC under Marco Materazzi, but his inconsistency didn’t let go of him as he also faced similar problems. He managed to score only one goal from 11 appearances. The Ethiopian striker is one of the biggest examples of a player who had done brilliantly before but later faded away.
