#4 Suley Musah - Ghana
Arguably the best foreign defender to have ever played in the Indian domestic game, Suleh Musah joined East Bengal in 1997. He was an integral part of the team for seven continuous seasons from 1997/98 to 2003/04. He returned to the club for another season in 2007, which means that the Ghanaian is the longest serving foreign player in the history of the Red and Gold Brigade.
He started out as a wing back but switched over to the centre of defense as his career progressed and later even in midfield. He was announced as captain of the club in 2003, the year in which they won the ASEAN Cup, National Football League title and the Kolkata League as well.
He has scored 41 goals for the club, including the second-fastest goal in league history in 2001 in a 2-1 win over Tollygunge Agragami, scoring in just 21 seconds. He has also played for Mohammedan Sporting and Air India for short spells, but he shall go down in history for his tenure with East Bengal. At the end of his career with East Bengal, Musah could boast of three National Football Leagues and six Kolkata League, along with the IFA Shield, Durand Cup, McDowell Trophy and the Airlines Gold Cup.
