28-01-2018 : Dr. Talimeren AO A commemorative postage stamp

Dr. Talimeren Ao was an Indian footballer and physician. He was born on 28 January 1918 in Assam, Naga hills in the village of Changki in the then Naga Hills District of Assam. A phantom figure who hovers over the football history of free India, his footprints have faded but his name is resonant and powerful in the collective memory of his people. He soaked everything in, borrowing the training methods of better players, and earning a name for himself in the newspaper headlines and bright lights.
