Forty years ago (in 1966), Gorkha Brigade of Dehra Dun annexed India’s oldest tournament, the Durand with an enthralling display of speedy, attacking football, never surpassed and rarely equalled. On their way to their first ever Durand triumph, Gorkha Brigade had some memorable victories. They beat New Delhi Heroes 5-0 in the first round on December 13. In the 1966 Durand tournament, 40 teams participated, in the over month long tournament. So the Gorkha Brigade had a long wait of over 12 days till their next match on Christmas day.
