Mishra Madonna
Multi-skilled Busy Bees graduate Viraj Mishra would be snagged by Italian Division Eight leaders DioFaMadonnaDisfa on a free transfer, with Swiss VI.85 outfit FS Crna Gora also coming in with an official bid for the 17 year-old. Head coach Gero Pitta had already recruited nine other youngsters in the past week, as he seeks to grow a solid nucleus at the Piemonte club.
Mishra was considered one of the premier all-rounders with the Bees, who could do a job at forward or the wing, despite his best position being in defence. His sturdy frame helped him out in this, as he was seldom second-best in physical challenges, no matter who he went up against. "He was someone you didn't want to mess with, no matter where you came up against him." teammate Mahmood bin Hj Shahabuddin observed. "It could be painful, to say the least!"
