		India’s solitary football hero is Baichung Bhutia and he hasn’t played in India for the past three years; in fact he’s just returned to India from England where he played for the second division club Bury, in the north of England.
		Although football has been played since the 1880s when the British brought it to India and is the second most popular game after cricket, it has never really taken off.
		Matters are not helped by what critics call the ‘mismanagement’ of the All-India Football Federation, arbitrary selection and insufficient international exposure, factors that have prevented Indian football from evolving into a professional game as it has in Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
