Former England striker Alan Sheraer, who hold the record of scoring the most number of goals in the English Premier League (260), said here, at the `The Football Movement’ conference, “I feel Indian football is at the brink of a great revolution, the same way as Premier League was in 80s and 90s. It’s because of the enthusiasm of the fans here. I feel Indian football is going to grow bigger and better from here on.”
