1966

In 1966, after giving his SSC examination in Rangpur, he moved to Dhaka.

His football career started the same year for Azad Sporting Club in the Dhaka League, after impressing Azad coach Ranjit Das.

However, before playing domestic football in Dhaka, he played in the inter-district team for Rangpur and the divisional team for Rajshahi, where his team reached the district final against Dhaka.

He made a name for himself while playing for the Pakistan's two biggest clubs at the time Dhaka Wanderers and Mohammedan SC, before Bangladesh's independence.

1967

In 1967, after making his move to Dhaka Wanderers, Shantoo was one of the only four East Pakistani players who were called up to the Pakistan national football team for the 1967 RCD Cup.

The other players being Golam Sarwar Tipu, Pratap Shankar Hazra and Hafizuddin Ahmed.

1968

In 1968, he represented Pakistan against a club from Soviet Union.

1969

He went on to represent Pakistan during the 1969 RCD Cup in Ankara, Turkey and also during the Friendship Cup held in Iran the same year.

I actually faced many strikers from Iran and Turkey in those three or four years (with the Pakistan national team).

Since then, fear had largely disappeared.

I was not afraid of anyone in Bangladesh.

1972

After the 1971 Liberation War, Shantoo played for the President's XI team during the first football match in the newly independent Bangladesh, on 13 February 1972.

He kept a cleansheet as his side defeated Bangladesh XI (unofficial Bangladesh national team) 2–0.

On 13 May 1972, Shantoo represented the Dhaka XI team as they defeated the first international football team to visit independent Bangladesh, Mohun Bagan AC by a goal from Kazi Salahuddin.

1973

In 1973, coach Sheikh Shaheb Ali named Shantoo in the first Bangladesh national football team squad which travelled to Malaysia fothe 1973 Merdeka Tournament.

He made his debut for Bangladesh against Thailand during the country's first official international game.

1978

Shantoo was made the national team captain for the 1978 Asian Games.

At the time when the Dhaka Derby was one of the most heated football rivalries in South Asia, Bangladesh Football Federation's decision to choose Mohammedan SC's Shantoo over the more experienced Monwar Hossain Nannu of Abahani Krira Chakra, was criticized by both players and fans.

This led to six Abahani players quitting the national team before the tournament.

1980

In the opening match of the 1980 AFC Asian Cup against North Korea, coach Abdur Rahim had to substitute an injured Shantoo for the second choice Wahiduzzaman Pintu.
