About Soccor Velho
Soccor Velho was an Indian footballer who last played for Air India in the I-League. He previously played for Cabral, Golden Gunners and Central Railway. He scored his first I-League goal on the second matchday, away to Mohun Bagan; just before half-time, Napoleon Singh's free kick was poorly cleared and Velho, playing as an attacking midfielder, was first to react. After the next game, Air India's first win of the season, coach Ghosh commented favourably on the pace and positioning of both Velho and goalscorer Surojit Roy, particularly on the counter-attack.
