Son of Kolkata prostitute scores goal, is selected to train with Man United...

Every morning, 16-year-old Arko Dey helps his mother run an eatery selling telebhajias in a cacophonous north Kolkata neighbourhood.

For hours, the mother and son fry sliced potatoes laced with gram flour paste. Some days, when sales are brisk, the cash box is full. But there are also days when very few customers turn up.

The lives of mother and son swing between hope and despair.

Last week, a tearful Dey told his mother that the family’s troubles could soon be over.

Dey has been selected to train with the U-21 team of Manchester United, the world’s most followed soccer club, and will soon be heading to Old Trafford. Full story...
