The period between 1988 and 1993 remains one of the most memorable in the football history of Eskaton Shobuj Shongho (ESS). During this era, ESS established itself as a respected force in the competitive football scene of Dhaka, steadily climbing the ranks and making a name through discipline, dedication, and strong performances.

Under the visionary guidance of President Akbar Pathan Faruk and the tactical expertise of coach Akbar Babul, ESS players showcased remarkable consistency on the field. Their hard work paid off as the team earned a respectable standing in league football, competing against some of the most formidable clubs of the time. This success was not just about results but also about setting standards — ESS became known for producing technically skilled and disciplined footballers who represented the club with pride.

What made this era even more special was the balance between leadership and teamwork. The management ensured the players were given proper guidance and training, while the athletes translated that into determined performances on the pitch. The collective spirit of ESS turned those years into a golden chapter, inspiring future generations to carry forward the club’s footballing legacy.
