Former India footballer A S Firoz, who represented Kerala in Santosh Trophy and played for many well known clubs, allegedly committed suicide at a young age of 34 in his house at Kechery in Thrissur district this morning.
Police said Firoz was rushed to a hospital, but his life could not be saved. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Firoz was a member of the Pre Olympic team (under-23) and represented Kerala five times in the Santosh Trophy. He was also a member of under 23 and under 21 state teams, Kerala Football Association sources said.
Firoz had also sported jersies of Mohammedan Sporting, Mohan Bagan, ITI Bangalore, Churchill Brothers and Eagles F C Kochin.
This is the story of Indian Football after you hang the boots.
A professional footballer is supposed to be set for life once they retire and that going into commentary and management is a choice but here in India once you can't play you are forced into management or media as the money you gain from playing here is not good enough.
In this case I bet money had something to do with it.
