S. Sirajuddin (; 1908 â Unknown), alternatively spelled Serajuddin, was a footballer from East Bengal present-day Bangladesh. He is best known for representing Kolkata Mohammedan as a full-back prior to the partition of India.
Sirajuddin was born in Comilla, Bengal, British India in 1908.
A Mohun Bagan reject, Sirajuddin, was recruited by Kolkata Mohammedan official CA Aziz in 1930. He played as a full-back under the captaincy of Habibullah Bahar Chowdhury for the club during their Calcutta League Second Division triumph in 1933. The following year, he was part of the team which became the first native club to win the First Division title. Sirajuddin represented Mohammedan during their tours of Rangoon, Colombo, Madras, Delhi, Hyderabad and Lahore.
In 1936, Sirajuddin spent a season with Kalighat FC. In 1937, he made a return to Mohammedan, and on 13 November, he represented league champions Mohammedan against the touring Islington Corinthians from Britain at Calcutta FC Ground. The game ended in a 0âÂÂ0 draw, a result being credited to Sirajuddin and Jumma Khan's performance in the Mohammedan defence. He again played the British team on 25 November, representing Tipperah XI during a 3âÂÂ0 defeat in Comilla. Notably, the Tipperah XI included several players from the Calcutta Football League, all hailing from the district.
In 1941, he featured in the IFA Shield final for Mohammedan in a 2âÂÂ0 victory against King's Own Scottish Borderers on 16 August. Earlier that year, he won the league title alongside the Delhi Football Association Shield Tournament and the Montmorency Football Tournament. He was eventually selected to represented the Bengal football team in the 1941âÂÂ42 Santosh Trophy. He featured for the team during their 5âÂÂ1 victory over Delhi in the final on 26 July.
In 1941, he represented the Indian Football Association in their annual international match against Europeans XI, a team composed of British players, winning 3âÂÂ1.
Sirajuddin died prior to the Independence of Bangladesh.
