"We believed we could beat ANYONE" Jules Alberto on playing for India | Roots to Boots - Episode 21

Before Jules Alberto became the man behind one of India's most memorable international goals, he was a young Goan footballer trying to convince his family (and himself) that football could be his future. In this episode of Roots to Boots, Jules takes us through a career that spans Salgaocar's golden years, India's 1999 SAFF Championship-winning team, the heartbreak of missing out on the national team in 1997, and the historic 2000 tour of England. He also takes us inside India's famous 1-0 victory over the UAE in the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifiers - the match in which Jules scored the decisive goal. From playing alongside Bhaichung Bhutia, I.M. Vijayan and other icons of Indian football to witnessing the changing landscape of the game, Jules reflects on the teams, coaches, setbacks and friendships that shaped his career. This is the story of Jules Alberto - a Goan winger, India international and one of the players who helped define an important era of Indian football.
