Editor's Note

Lets keep this post very simple.. This is not planned, neither scripted but just a straight up post from the bottom of my heart.

1) Eastboys..
Others might hate them, but we at Kamikaze simply love them. Their contributions to the building of Kamikaze will never be forgotten and will always be etched in the hearts of the Kamikaze management. They have their own brand of soccer, and while i personally wish i could take such an attitude to soccer and enjoy soccer rather than focusing on the extras, deep down i know many can't. And that is why they forever have my respect and love.

2) Youngsters..
I wouldn't be too far off the mark if i were to say Kamikaze has the best crop of youngsters around. Thina, Navin, Lavanesh and Barathi are more than a match for any player around. The fact that they are all under 22 with Barathi being the eldest at 21 only augurs well for the future of KKZ. Breeding young, committed exciting soccer players has always been a Kamikazian aim and will continue to be so. These four youngsters have my respect for putting in the hard work to be where they are.

3) Pioneers..
Yasin, Seelan, Jayraj, USPO and Spaceship. They have all been around for a very long time now. The common thing about all 5 is that they have all gone missing over the years for various reasons. But they have all managed to get back their bearings and return to the home. There might be many different reasons for their inaction, but there are only two for their return. Love for Soccer, and Love for Kamikaze. Oh wait, that might be one reason after all.. We love you guys too...

4) Key Players..
Every other team might have one or 2 important key players. But Kamikaze is fortunate enough to have 4 of those. Safar, Hariboy, Havey and Fazail. This 4 can win any match on their own, and any team would be lucky to have them. But having said that, they are very lucky to have played for THIS team. They all know that individually that they are good players, but the opportunities and chances given to them by Kamikaze can never be gotten anywhere else. Kamikaze is lucky, but you guys are luckier!

5)Utility Players..
Over the years, we have had many numerous players who have came in and helped us out for matches. Rest assured that you guys have never been forgotten. We are not just a soccer team, we are a way of life, and we are honoured that you guys have been a part of our lives.

6) Haresh and Me
Everyone knows that Haresh is the manager of this team, assisted by Seelan and Fazail with me serving the blog Editor's role. But at no point of time, have we ever acted as an individual. We have always thought, behaved, played and breathed as a team. Personally we might have had differences, and that is human nature. But professionally, when it comes to this team we have thought of ourselves not as individuals but as KAMIKAZE. Whatever we do, we do it for our team. And that's why our teammates understand our actions because whatever they do, they do it for the team too..

Kamikaze. It has never been a soccer team only. It has never been about any one man. It has never been about purely results. Its about achieving a complete balance of talent, hardwork, determination and strategy, to produce a vibrant display of attacking football while securing the result and picking up ourselves after dark times to shine during our bright times..

Kamikaze We Were... Kamikaze We Are... and Kamikaze we will forever be!
