The long wait to watch world-famous footballers in action is over. Now fans in India will not have to appease themselves by watching football on TV, because a host of footballing legends are set to grace turfs across the country during the Indian Super League that kicks-off on Sunday, October 12. Here is the list of the top 15 to watch out for:

5. David Trezeguet

Like Pires, this former France striker has also won the World Cup and European Championship. Having spent most of his career with Juventus, the 36-year-old has plenty of experience at the highest level. Lethal in front of goal, expect this hitman to score plenty for Pune City FC.

6. David James

The 44-year-old English goalkeeper has played for 9 different clubs including Liverpool and Manchester City and has represented England at the World Cup. Although he hasn't won anything of note in his career, he packs a lot of experience and will be an important presence as the goalkeeper and manager of Kerala Blasters FC.
