Centanary Birth Year of Dhiren Dey of Mohan Bagan
Recently Jaidip Mukerjea was asked to write an article on him
 

My association with Dhiren Kaka (Dey) goes way back to my childhood. He was a very close friend of my father, late Adhip Mukerjea. I was a regular visitor to the Mohan Bagan Club with my father and never missed a hockey or a football match in my younger days and was a staunch supporter of the club. My father Captained the Mohan Bagan hockey team and I also played the few hockey matches for Mohan Bagan 2nd eleven. Dhiren Kaka encouraged me to play all games and when he saw me play tennis he told my father that I should concentrate on tennis as I had a flair for the game, hence I owe a lot of my success to him. One of my earliest memories of him is as a young boy I was fascinated to dress up like a cowboy, Dhiren Kaka was going to the US on some work and I vividly remember I asked him to bring back a cowboy outfit, which he did so complete with a hat and a toy gun. I did not realize how hard it is to carry stuff for others all the way from the US. He was very kind hearted and generous and would go out of the way to help persons in trouble. Another incident which comes to my mind is that once before Mohan Bagan and Eastbengal football match I need a few tickets in the 11th hour, I went to his house couple of hours before the match, at first he was reluctant to give the tickets but at the end as usual gave in to my request.

He had a permanent table reserved for him for lunch at the Bengal Club and whenever I wanted to have wonderful meal, I would drop in to the club uninvited and join him and discuss all matters related to sports.

Dhiren Kaka's life was Mohan Bagan Club not a day went by when he did not go to the club and there was a special aura when he entered. He was loved by all the members and   at the same time people were scared of his towering personality.

He was the number one member of the Mohan Bagan Club who gave his life for the club there was no one before him nor there will be any one after him in the Mohan Bagan Club.

I am very honoured to write this article on the birth centenary year of Dhiren Kaka a truly loved gentlemen with a great soul and a kind heart who I will never forget.
