He then moved to East Bengal in 1957 and the next year he joined their arch-rivals Mohun Bagan, where he played for six years. "I was born at Railway FC, Aryan is my uncle's house while East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are my aunt's places," he had once said famously.
He was part of the Manila Asian Games squad but he did not get a chance to play in the first XI.
