Vidic, who had earned a reputation as one of the world's best centre-backs during his days at Old Trafford, was in the country recently to launch the India chapter of Football For Peace.

Football For Peace, which is supported by the English Premier League and the UK Foreign Office, will identify 10-12 cities in the country as part of its Cities for Peace initiative.
