The Nabab Bhattacharya-led United Sports Club is still a breeding ground for future football stars
United Sports Club is a familiar name in the Indian football fraternity, having regularly plied their trade in the top tier of Indian football between 2008 and 2014.
The club was established in 1927 as Everready Association but it rose to prominence only in the 90s when a bunch of youngsters then, which includes the current general secretary of the club Alokesh Kundu and director Sidhartha Bhattacharya or ‘Nabab’ as he is fondly known in the Kolkata Maidan, revived it.
The club climbed up the rungs of the Calcutta Football League (CFL) and reached the top division in 2002.
