3. Dinesh
Position on the Pitch: Right Back, Centre Mid, Right Wing
Nicknames: Din, Pulthi
Player he Tries to Emulate: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
Memorable Quotes: “So what are you wearing tomorrow? I think that polka-dot bikini looks
great on you.”
“Sorry guys I don’t think I can meet you all today. No jeans.”
Will most likely say: “Wait, wait I can explain.”
“F%$k !F%$k! F%$k!”
Nothing (Sat will understand).
Will never be caught saying: “Pass it to my left foot!”

Let’s be really honest. No one grows up saying, “You know what, I wanna be a damn fine right back when I grow up”. Right back can be quite a chore to play but it is full credit to our Dinesh K Verlachamy that he has made that position his own and his absence is quite apparent when we play field games without him. Dinesh has always been one of our finer players technically, barring some loose back passes, but that’s the Din we have come to know and love all these years. He is probably one of the fittest members of the team and only one of very few who has gone abroad and played some form of semi-professional football, and yes guys, that means training regularly. Very strong on his right peg and extremely quick off the mark are some of his finer attributes, but he himself will know his left leg tends sometimes to screw things up for him when he needs it the most. But no one is perfect, and MiB FC’s right back is one of the star names on our team sheets.
Dinesh has never been an orthodox defender and loves to maraud up and down the field as often as he can. With his increased fitness from overseas training (or maybe the declining fitness of the current centre midfielders), Dinesh has even started to stake a claim to play in the centre of the park. But he ends up playing at Right Back most of the time, not because we don’t want him in the centre, but because no one can do a better job on the right side of the defence than Din. We hope that he comes back at the end of his Aussie stint a more matured player, and that his experience of playing at the higher level will rub off on the rest of us.
Off the pitch, Dinesh is an amazing friend and a great person to talk to. He really is one of those guys that sticks with you when you need a friend, I can vouch for that. He loves a good laugh and normally makes up one of the movie-going gang when he is in Singapore. As much as his defence attorneys will try to deny it, our dear friend Dinesh has a tendency to like a certain breed of girls, but who am I to say anything about that? Dinesh has been one of the forefathers of the MiB team and continues to be one of our pillars of success. But he has never been the kind to bask in the limelight, he’d rather let his talking be done on the pitch.
The greatest accolade I can pay Din is that perhaps there was no one better to start this MiB FC Player profile than the man from Yishun (now Melbourne, loves Hong Kong). We are all waiting for you to come back so we can lay the ball down the right side and see a familiar figure racing down the touchline. For now, stay productive in Australia, but not TOO productive.
NEXT WEEK: Vana.
