Only recently, when a friend asked if I have any old photo that featured any of the old national team jerseys that I dig out this old souvenir handout (pictured above), which was given to me by my aunt 20 years ago...
Alas, how time passes - 1987 was the year this handbook, which served as a guide to Singapore's Malaysia Cup campaign that year, was published.
A sense of nostalgic sentiment flows as I flipped through the pages and was pretty shocked to see Fandi Ahmad playing against us (only to realize that he was earning a living as a professional years later).

I`M a supporter of Albirex Niigata for 5 years...u got a very nice book there...thanks for featuring Hasnim Haron...he was my hero during those days....i remember he was in the squad which reach the 1990 Malaysia Cup final with Abbas and Alistier edwards....hasnim was forgotten when he sign to play for Johor fa...that`s the sad part also in my life...i dun b;ame him cause johor offered him a lucrutive contract
ReplyDeleteHi Crow...
ReplyDeleteYup, those were the days.. last heard from those players I met was Hasnim not longer involved in the game.
He's still living in the northern part of the island
Thanks for uploading, it sures bring back many wonderful memories of the past for Sg football. Snaking queues outside National stadium, the drink sellers moving around, sea of red fans around kallang... I don't remember such an atmosphere for a long time to come, kudos to your postings. Pls update more on Malaysia Cup if you have.. thanks :)
ReplyDeleteBro, the first local player to get the endorsement is Fandi Ahmad on Lotto boots not Hasnim Haron.But Hasnim deserve it too.
ReplyDeleteHi "Anonymous" (of 9May posting),
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input, but AFAIK Hasnim got his first endorsement deal before he switched to Johor, whereas for Fandi, AFAIK, he signed for Lotto when he's back in 1993 (the scissor-kick motif u mean?)
With Regards
Hi Poh Hui, discovered this post accidentally, but luv this post in particular... wondering if u hav pics of jerseys of our national team.... n looking for the old puma red jersey as seen above... wonder if the shops hav it?
ReplyDeleteHi "Anonymous" (posted on 12/7/10,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliments... it was indeed an old very jersey that I fear you may have to try shops at Queensway or Peninsular OR ask around randomly..
Thank you for the (above)response Pohui, keep up your outstanding support for the local league and national team. We need more supporters like you
