Narayanswami Ulaganathan (born 1952) is an Indian former footballer. He played for Mohun Bagan in three spells, East Bengal, Mohammedan and the India national team primarily as a winger, during his 12-year career as a professional footballer.
Playing for the Mariners in 1976, he became the first player to score a hat-trick in the Durand Cup final, which came against JCT Mills. Nicknamed "Black Pearl", Ulaganathan was renowned for his speed with the ball and footwork as a winger, and was considered one of India's best wingers during his time.[1] He was notable in not having received a single yellow card throughout his career.[2] He retired from professional football in 1985.
