Shaiful Ansari (Bengali: সাইফুল আনসারী; c. 1956 – 20 June 2016), known by his nickname Lal Mohammad, was a Bangladeshi football player who played as a goalkeeper.

Playing career[edit]

Lal Mohammad began his career in the Dhaka Third Division League with Purbachal Parishad in 1972. He made his debut in the First Division at the time, the Dhaka League with Police AC in 1976.[1]

Although initially selected as a second-choice goalkeeper, to Moinul Karim, Lal made two appearances during the 1980 AFC Youth Championship qualifiers held in Dhaka, and later played all four games in the main event held in Bangkok.

He later represented the runners-up Bangladesh Red team at the President's Gold Cup in 1981. The following year, he appeared for the Bangladesh national team for three games during Pakistan's Quaid-e-Azam International Cup.[2]

In 1982, he stepped away from football after his club, Mohammedan SC, suffered a 0–2 defeat to Victoria SC in the league. His teammates, however, admitted that the goalkeeper was not at fault for the goals conceded.[3]

Lal Mohammed left the club after a 0–2 loss to Victoria. Not only the club, but in a sense gave up football!

Death[edit]

On 20 June 2016, Lal Mohammad died of cardiac arrest at his residence in Malibagh, Dhaka.[4]
