Only a few players become legends in their playing days and Sunil Chhetri belonged to that rare tribe, India's head coach Igor Stimac said in a glowing tribute to the talismanic skipper, who will hang his boots on June 6.
The Indian football icon on Thursday announced that he will bring the curtains down on his glorious two-decade long career by playing his swansong match against Kuwait in the World Cup Qualifier at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
"He knows best how he feels and when it's the appropriate time to do things. I just wish we all do everything to make June 6 very memorable for him and all Indian football fans," Stimac told the-aiff.com.
