May the Giver of Life grant Heavenly Bliss to Cristiano. In our hour of grief we pray for solace, strength and courage for Cristiano's family, team mates, football fans and supporters of Dempo Sports Club. We appreciate the fine efforts of the House of Dempos who have been promoting the game of football for nearly four decades. With Mr.Shrinivas Dempo at the helm the team has continued to shine year after year. Mr.Anthony Botelho with a vast network of loyal former Dempo players around has a formidable human base that lends continuity and solidity to Dempo's humane and caring culture, tradition and history. Coach Mr.Armando Colaco himself a former Dempo star is a methodical planner who has meticulously led the team from NFL II to respectable positions in the senior NFL and Fed Cup events. Former greats like Mauricio, Mahesh, Camilo, Babu Arolkar, Custodio and others lend a sense of history and glitter to the compact unit. Sameer, D'Cruz, Stanley, Mario, Lazarus, Melwin, Jose, Pocket, Ranty, Nascimento, Francis, Raju, Pio, Bolaji, Mondal, Kumar, Bharti, Gouramangi, Vally, Riston, Prakash, Clifford, Ahmed, Domnick, Clifton, Santan, Lavino, Das and others need to be encouraged by all.
