Player history

Some of the former Tamil Nadu state football players are Samson Gunapandian, Simon Sundararaj,^[6] J. Krishnaswamy, Raman Vijayan, Syed Sabir Pasha, Kalia Kulothungan,^[7] Robin Charles Raja, V.

Simon Sundararaj from Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu scored the last Indian goal at the Olympics, in Rome in 1960.^[11]

Most of these former players were employees of State or Central government institutions. All India Football Federation and Tamil Nadu Football Association were coordinating these players participation at the National level. In the past, to attend preparatory camps to get selected for the Indian national football team, it was difficult for these players to obtain leave from the institutions in which they were employed.^[12] Some Tamil Nadu football players use their football talent and achievements to get jobs in Government institutions like Southern Railways, Indian Bank, and Chennai Customs.^[13]

The following is an incomplete list of Tamil Nadu footballers.
