Alvito Ronaldo Correia D'Cunha (born 12 July 1978, in Sanvordem) is a retired Indian football player. He was a former member of the India national team and represented India in the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He spent most of his club career in East Bengal.[2]
Playing career[edit]
He played for East Bengal as a left winger for a long span of 14 seasons. He retired at the start of 2016 season as the club had not included D'Cunha in the squad. He previously played for two renowned Goan sides Salgaocar SC (1998–2002), and Sesa SC (1997–1998).
He made a start after a few years for East Bengal against Kalighat Milan Sangha F.C. in the inaugural match of the Calcutta Premier Division 2013, where he scored from a penalty on the 15th minute, and assisted his state-mate Joaquim Abranches with a forward through pass to score his first goal for the Kolkata-based side.
