Legends have proved it in history that class will forever be permanent. We can say that for IM Vijayan too. The Indian football great put in a spectacular show in an exhibition match. The 50-year-old's goal was reminiscent of his glory days, and once again proved his greatness.
Playing in a match in Mannarkkad (Kerala), the Arjuna awardee received a pass in the left side of the field, with his side on a counter attack.

The ball flew into the top-right corner like a bullet!
