What makes you think there are no Indian footballers?
What about Inivalappil Vijayan? He was crowned Indian Player of the Year in 1992, 1997 and 1999. He also scored the fasted international goal in history in 1999 at the South Asian Football Federation Cup against Bhutan, scoring after just 12 seconds and was the top scorer in the Afro-Asian Games in 2003. Since retiring from the game he has started a football academy in his home town.
There's also Baichung Bhutia, who joined East Bengal Club at 16 and went to JCT Mills two years later and won the league with the club as well as being the league's top scorer. He was also named Indian Player of the Year in 1996 along with numerous other awards. He also played in England, when he joined Bury in 1999, before returning to India in 2002 to play for Mohun Bagan AC. He's even signed an endorsement deal with Adidas and had a stadium built in his honour, the Baichung Stadium in Namshi (how many European players have had THAT honour?)
And there's Subimal "Chuni" Goswami, who's received 50 international caps for India, as well as managing the international side and becoming vice-president of Mohan Bagan club.
