Sitting in the lobby of his team's hotel, it is clear why Baichung Bhutia is often compared to David Beckham. With his softly spoken voice, good looks, rock-star lifestyle of TV endorsements and fashion shows, not to mention his evergreen footballing ability, the 35-year-old captain of the Indian national football team has been an ambassador for a game in arguably the one part of the world that football forgot.
Yet he has become a hero to millions after becoming India's first -- and so far only -- professional footballer in Europe whilst captaining the national team to their most successful period in living memory - namely their appearance at the 2011 Asian Cup
In India it is a cricket dominated country but we have some areas where football is really big
