One of the prime custodians of Hero ISL, Edel Bete has had a scintillating career in the Indian subcontinent. His lightning-fast reflexes and commanding presence has left many attackers frustrated to the core.

The former Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper put a stamp on his reputation early on by making a majestic save to deny Michael Chopra a goal in the 2014 final, one which earned him effusive praise from the former Kerala Blaster’ player-coach, David James. Following up on his excellent save percentage figure of 86.3% in the inaugural campaign, the Cameroonian-born Armenian won the Golden Glove award for his brilliance between the sticks last season and will vie for similar honours with his new home, FC Pune City.
