Bandya Kakade (c. 1945 – 17 October 2012) was an Indian footballer who was second-choice goalkeeper in the Indian squad that won a bronze medal at the 1970 Asian Games in Bangkok.[1] He understudied Kuppuswami Sampath in that competition and he was one of three goalkeepers who represented India in the qualifying competition for the 1972 Olympic Games.[2]

Born in Mumbai to a family of tailors, Bandya Kakade was more interested in football and tennis than studies during his schooldays. He played for a local team, Friends XI, before progressing to the Central Railways club and then, in 1966, to Mafatlal SC.[3] He played for the Indian junior team in 1964 and spent nearly 20 years as goalkeeper with Tata Sports Club from 1970,[1][4] where he replaced S. S. Narayan.[5] He occasionally played as a right-back[6] and retired from the sport in 1989.[3]

Having suffered paralysis of his right-hand side two years previously,[6] Kakade died of a heart attack in Mumbai on 17 October 2012. He was unmarried.[4]
