Players with the most caps for the Indian Football team

#3 PK Banerjee (84 caps and 65 goals)

PK Banerjee in his younger days

PK Banerjee or Pradip Kumar Banerjee is considered amongst the best ever from India to have played football. He played for Eastern Railway for most of his club career but represented India with distinction in the international level. He represented India in three Asian Games in 1958, 1962 and 1966 and won the gold in 1962 with the country.

He was the captain for India in the Rome Olympics for 1960 where India drew 1-1 against France. He was forced into retirement because of persistent injury problems in 1967. Banerjee served since then as a member of the technical committee for India and has managed both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.

The only discrepancy, however, is the fact that PK Banerjee does not hold the record for most goals by an Indian because a lot of the goals were in games on Tour for India, which were not all recognised FIFA internationals.

He was awarded a FIFA Centennial Merit for his achievements in the last century.
