Subrata Pal impressed everyone with his acrobatic reflexes at the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. But, Canadian MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps had already taken note of his talent and offered him a trial in 2010.

However, Subrata failed to impress the club officials and had to return home empty handed. However, it improved his confidence immensely and was exemplified by the fact that he produced 16 saves in India's match against South Korea in the continental extravaganza.

In 2012, when RB Leipzig was plying their trade in the German fourth division, India's Spiderman was offered a trial at their club. However, the deal never materialized.

He did get a chance to redeem himself on foreign shores when he signed for Danish Superliga outfit FC Vestjaelland. Currently, the shot-stopper plays for Jamshedpur FC in the ISL.
