Was reading Mumbai City thread and thought about something that was always interested to me but forgot to ask.
Why there's no more (or at all) South Asians in British football? There's significant population from these countries in England, but I can't recall any player making it to top level. I understand it's not very popular sport over there and first generation, second too were probably not really interested in football, but I see lot of fans of South Asian background on matches, even more on Twitter, but can't see footballers yet.
Are they still not bothered as a whole, lack talent or what.. you'd think with few decades in Britain and with football being a part of British identity, it would get popularized amongst that population too.
