In 1979, he came to India to pursue his studies and joined the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).[5] On seeing his performance for the university in the North Zone Inter University championship, Nassiri was signed by East Bengal along with other Iranian players Majid Bishkar and Mahmud Khabbasi.[6] The 1980 Federation Cup was his debut tournament with the Red and Golds, where he won the tournament with the them. In the same season, East Bengal also won the Rovers Cup where Nassiri played a big part.[7]

His consistent form saw him returning to East Bengal in 1984 where Nassiri had an impressive run. He scored 17 goals in the Calcutta league and became the league's topscorer.[10] He was also part of the team that won Federation Cup in 1985 and participated in 1985–86 Asian Club Championship in Saudi Arabia,[11][12] under coaching of legendary footballer P. K. Banerjee.[13][14][15] They also won the Coca Cola Cup of Central Asia.[16]

In 1986, Nassiri had his last big transfer move, as he rejoined Mohammedan for a sum of Rs. 250,000, making him as one of the most expensive football player in the country at that time. He continued to play till the late 80's and became the first foreigner in Indian football to score more than 100 goals.[17]

Personal life


I like India. I found the culture and tradition common to Iran. It was a great experience playing in front of such a massive crowd. That's the reason I preferred to stay back here."
