Former sports journalist Arnab Ghosh, passed away Wednesday night following a brief illness, the Calcutta Sports Journalist Club (CSJC) said Thursday in a statement. He was 78.
Ghosh, a chronic asthma patient, suffered a heart attack and breathed his last at a city nursing home. He is survived by wife and son.
Starting his journalistic career with Amrita Bazar Patrika in mid-1960s, he joined The Hindu's Kolkata bureau in 1977.
A passionate football lover, Ghosh covered many national and international football and other important sports events for The Hindu and Sportstar in eastern India.
