Former New Zealand national team (All Whites) player Timothy Oliver Brown will be present at the FPAI organised Indian Football Awards 2012 on May 12 at the Marriott Resort & Spa Hotel in Panjim, Goa. He will be representing the New Zealand Professional Footballers Association at the FIFPro Asia Conference on May 10/11.

Better knows as Tim Brown, he will also be visiting Kolkata and Darjeeling as part of his journey through India. In Kolkata he will be playing a match between the Debanjan Sen Foundation XI and the Howrah Veterans Club XI on May 19. He will also be conducting a short camp for the Debanjan Sen Foundation and interact with their students the day before the match.

Tim is later set to travel to Darjeeling where he will do some training and coaching in the famous Tea Gardens for children of tea plantation workers.

Tim Brown, who has played 29 internationals for his country, was the captain of the New Zealand Team that played the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup against the likes of Brasil, Italy and hosts South Africa.

Only recently Tim retired from active football following the conclusion of the 2011-12 A-League season in Australia to pursue a Masters degree in Management at either the London School of Economics or Cambridge University.
