During his playing days, he was popularly known by his nickname Kanan, pronounced Ka-non.

In December 1979, Irish coach William Bill Hart of Dhaka League giants Abahani Krira Chakra held a goalkeeper tiral, for which players had to pay 30 rupees to join.

Although, Kanan stood in line without paying, he was the first player selected by the coach.

I saw about 30 balls in front of him.

As soon as I stood in goal, he started shooting.

I also jumped and saved some of his shots.

Impressed with my keeping, I heard Bill Hart say to the other coaches, "I will take this boy. Fix the other two."
