Real Kashmir’s Kallum Higginbotham adapting to life outside the comfort zone
The HinduWith a decade-long career in the Scottish league spread across all divisions, including the top flight, Kallum Higginbotham’s signing up with Real Kashmir FC was more about the experience of moving out of Britain than anything else. Growing up where it’s been so easy contacting people with touch of a finger, it’s probably brought me down a bit and made me realise how much I depend on my iphone or my ipad,” Higginbotham, RKFC’s lone foreign signing this year, told Sportstar on the sidelines of an event here on Tuesday. Read | Real concerns for RKFC Having joined the side at what is perhaps the most testing time for anyone in Kashmir — with communication lines down, complete absence of internet in the valley and a throwback to the early 1990s — Higginbotham is coming to terms with actually talking to people at all times instead of searching stuff online all the time. ‘Surprised’ That interaction has also led to a better realisation of Indian football and players and Higginbotham admitted his preconceived notions have been shattered since his arrival here.
