❤️Talimeren Ao was the first captain of the Indian football team. Fondly known as T Ao, or Tay Ao, or Dr Tay, the Nagaland native has a story that is enriching and legendary.
❤️A footballer and a doctor, he wore both hats with ease. Mohun Bagan Captain and Captain of the India Team, he was the flag-bearer of the Indian Olympic contingent at the 1948 London Games. With the FIFA World Cup fever hitting its zenith, let us remember this football legend who shined with the ball at his feet.
❤️Today, we have the IFL, the high-profile Indian Football League, where a team called the NorthEast United dominates the points table. Well, Dr Talimeren Ao was the region’s first footballing hero.
❤️Standing at 5 ft 10 inches, Dr Ao was an athletic–the perfect form for football. A dominating midfielder and defender for nine seasons at Mohun Bagan, from 1943 to 1952, he was a teammate of Sailen Manna and Taj Mohammed at the London Olympics. In photographs, one can easily make out Dr Ao, with his steady gaze.
❤️Born in 1918 in Changki, an Ao village in the then Naga Hills district of Assam, and now in Nagaland’s Mokokchung district, his tribe, the Aos, are one of the 16 tribes of Nagaland. Dr Ao’s father was Subongwati Ningdangri, the first Reverend in the Naga Hills. Dr Ao was the fourth of his 12 kids.
❤️Two or three years after T Ao was born, the family moved to the Impur mission compound, near Mokokchung town, to a house allotted by American missionaries. Near the house was a field where boys would play with a ball made of tightly-tied rags. This was where T Ao had his first brushes with the game.
❤️During this period, the Reverend, his father, died of typhoid.
❤️His last wish? To see Talimeren become a doctor, to serve the Naga people.
❤️alimeren finally returned home to Nagaland in 1953, when he joined the Kohima Civil Hospital as an Assistant Civil Surgeon. He stayed there and rose among the medical ranks to retire as the Director of Health Services in Nagaland in 1978.
❤️He passed away in 1998 at the ripe old age of 80 and was buried at the Naga Cemetary in Khermahal, Dimapur.
