THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After his much-trolled Mohammad Ali gaffe, where he mistook the US boxer for a Malayali sportsman, Sports Minister E P Jayarajan made another slip when he wrongly referred to former Indian football team captain I M Vijayan as M N Vijayan. He was replying to a question from Kovoor Kunjumon MLA in the Assembly on Thursday. 

Meanwhile, the minister said the state government is actively considering inviting England-based Chelsea Football Club to nurture aspiring footballers in the state.
