Really great article <div><br></div><div><h1 class="posttitle" style="margin: 1px 0px 6px; padding: 1px 0px 0px; line-height: 36px; color: rgb(207, 94, 10); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 32px; font-weight: 400; text-transform: capitalize; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Foreign Recruits In Indian Football – A Short Recap</h1><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.indianfootballnetwork.com/blog/2013/06/12/foreign-recruits-in-indian-football-a-short-recap/">http://www.indianfootballnetwork.com/blog/2013/06/12/foreign-recruits-in-indian-football-a-short-recap/</a></div></div><div><br></div><div>lots of stuff i had no idea. also it breaks the myth that Indian clubs dont bring ggood players, that seems to be a late 90s phenomenon but even during the early 90s clubs got some really reputed players, one being a former Arsenal player. Before that ofcourse we had a few world cuppers.</div><div><br></div><div>Also Ironic how Mohun Bagan built all its teams till 1991 with Indian players only, and then broke tradition with Chima. Unfortunately now the scenario looks totally opposite</div>
