Editing/Addition of lines to history[edit]

The club became famous in 1911 when it became the first Indian team to have defeated a foreign team in competition.lift the IFA Shield, a tournament previously won only by British teams based in India. It defeated the Eastern Yorkshire Regiment 2-1 in the final of the tournament in a victory that is still regarded by many as the greatest by an Indian team before Independence.

Citation needed !![edit]

"Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), in the state of West Bengal, is considered to be the home of Indian football" Is there any citation for this exorbitant guesswork?? I know kolkata is famous for its football club but did football really took its wing in India there?

Women's football section[edit]

Someone has added the words "won the curry cup" at the end of the final paragraph. I presume this is someone's attempt at humour. It needs to be removed.
