Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Inivalappil Mani Vijayan, also known by the nickname Kalo Harin (Blackbuck), is an Indian former professional footballer who captained the India national football team. He played as a striker, where he formed a successful attacking partnership with Bhaichung Bhutia for the India national football team in the late nineties and early 2000s. — Wikipedia
