ISL: Kerala Blasters' John Burridge out to repeat his legacy in Indian football

The new Kerala Blasters goalkeeping consultant-coach thinks India can finish second behind Qatar in their World Cup qualifier group...

Workington-born John Burridge signed up for his home club at the age of 15 and built a worthwhile football career as a goalkeeper than lasted no less than 28 years.

The former Blackpool and Sheffield United custodian, at 67, has now decided to embark on a new journey, thousands of miles away from home, to head the Kerala Blasters goalkeeping academy and work with the first team as a goalkeeping coach.

India is not new territory for Burridge.
