[4] He represented the bronze-medal winning India national football team at the 1970 Asian Games held at Bangkok, Thailand.

He won numerous trophies as part of the India national football team and Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, including the 1970 Asian Games Bronze, the IFA Shield, the Santosh Trophy, the Calcutta Football League and the Rovers Cup.

He was part of the Bronze winning Indian football team at the 1970 Asian Games led by Syed Nayeemuddin,[5][6][7] in Bangkok, Thailand.

He was part of the club's Bangladesh tour of May 1972, where they defeated Dhaka Mohammedan, but lost to Shadhin Bangla football team.

[8] He won a double crown (Calcutta Football League and IFA Shield) in his maiden season with Mohun Bagan and went on to play for the club until 1974.

He was famous[13] for his precision long-distance shots ranging from 35 to 40 yards and he stormed the 1970s Calcutta football scene[14][15] during his heyday as a striker.

The same year, East Bengal centre-forward Subhash Bhowmick fell (that's what one would like to believe) on Mohun Bagan captain Shankar Banerjee.

At the end of the match as Mohun Bagan embraced another heartbreaking and unfortunate defeat, Ghosh Dastidar walked up to the referee Bishwanath Dutta, and struck him a mighty blow on his nose.

His splendid performances and speedy midfield action inspired a generation of footballers and youngsters in Jalpaiguri, as well as in the Calcutta Maidan scene and nation-wide.
