Yep. The only thing we dont know is the squads for each game. Did Mohammed "One season wonder" Rafi play? Did NP Pradeep play?

Rafi is not 1 season wonder,I think he always had the potential but was played as winger for very long.Unfortunate he got injured and was out of action for 1 year and at 31 its not really possible to recover the old form.

I am not sure about the potential part as I was not a follower of Indian football before 2009-10 and records from before then are hard to come by. Only thing I know is that the season before he only had 3 goals and then all of a sudden bursted and scored 14 in one season. Tying Ranti Martins in number of goals that season.
I agree with injury being the main reason but I also blame the fact that he moved to Churchill Brothers who had Odafe at the time. How can you score when you have him as a teammate. After that he scored a total of 2 goals in 2 seasons.
Yes he was good way back then,he was used as winger by Derrick at Mahindra and was very promising unfortunately he got his due chance only when he was around 29.

That is upsetting. By any chance, do you know what his preferred position was? From the sound of it, it looks like he wanted to be a striker more than winger.
yup.....was really a hard working but never been tht effective in tht position ...but it was under david booth he started to get goals regularly (lasted only 1 season )

After all it is only just an rumor. One of those 2 surely didn't signed.
