Dewan Shafiul Arefin Tutul (Bengali: দেওয়ান শরিফুল আরেফিন টুটুল; born 1 March 1960) is a former Bangladeshi footballer[1] and the former Youth and Sports Affairs Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League.[2][3]
Tutul began his career as a striker in the Dhaka Second Division League with Dhanmondi Club in 1974.[4]
He was later invited to join the junior team of Abahani Krira Chakra by Ali Imam. He soon shifted to defence playing alongside Monwar Hossain Nannu and eventually became a right full back who frequently made overlaps. Thus, he is regarded as the first attacking full back in Dhaka football.[5]
He became the vice-captain of Abahani in 1979 and the captain in 1980; however, he departed the club the following year after a fallout with the officials. He won six Dhaka First Division League titles during three stints with Abahani. He also lifted the Aga Khan Gold Cup with Brothers Union.[6] In his second stint at Abahani, he was handed club captaincy in 1984. Tutul also impressed at continental level, scoring a brace during Abahani's 8–1 victory over Club Valencia in the 1985–86 Asian Club Championship.[7]
He officially retired from football on 7 June 1992, during the last league game between Abahani and Mohammedan SC.[6]
International career
He represented the Bangladesh U19 team at the 1977 AFC Youth Championship in Tehran. Tutul previously made his senior international debut during the 1976 King's Cup in Bangkok. He also represented Bangladesh during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, 1984 South Asian Games and the 1985 South Asian Games.[6]
