I Love Kashmir And Its Love For Football

For those who label Kashmir as a “dangerous place”, this should serve as an eye-opener.

Famed Scottish footballer and Real Kashmir FC coach David Robertson on Thursday said Kashmir is one of the safest places in the world.

“I have been here for three years now and I enjoyed being with the people of Kashmir. People are great here.I love Kashmiris and their love for football.

Robertson said it was the secure atmosphere of the valley that prompted him to convince foreign players to play for Real Kashmir FC.

“I brought my family including my son, wife, and daughter here. Even we have two coaches Jimmy and Jonathan now. If I feared for my safety then I wouldn’t have brought them here. I lived here during strikes, internet shutdown. But I never feared for the safety of my life. This is a lovely and great place,” he said.

Robertson poured his heart out at a time when Real Kashmir FC popularly known as snow leopards is bracing up for the second season in the prestigious I- League. The team, which has added new players to the squad, is practicing hard in Srinagar to take up new challenges in the coming season.
