Suresh Muttath, commonly known as Suresh Dada to Kolkata football fans, was born on May 19, 1978, id Etatummal, Kasargod district, who has been the defender of India for many years, and has impressed Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and several other clubs across india with his style of play.
Suresh was only fifteen years old when he stepped into the Indian school team camp after a great start to his playing career.
Suresh, who joined the Kozhikode University team from Nehru College Kanhangad, was groomed by Usman and Victor Manjila.
A move from wing-back to stopper-back at the hands of Subrota Bhattacharya there, and a Durant Cup win in his first season, were all enough to make Suresh a notable star of the Kolkata side.
When East Bengal won the Federation Cup after twenty-two long years, the captain of that ship was none other than this legend.
