Few people remember today that until the 1950s, India’s national football team competed with the best European teams. In this book, the sports commentator and journalist Novy Kapadia shares a lifetime’s worth of knowledge about the game, and, in the process, uncovers the forgotten history of Indian football. Barefoot to Boots, which carries a foreword by the former footballer Bhaichung Bhutia, presents riveting descriptions of on-field action, memorable matches and club rivalries, as well as interviews with legendary players and officials.
