Was aimlessly surfing around when I saw an "old friend" of Singapore football - one of our former national coaches - Douglas Moore.
Dougie is currently working as a head coach in one of the colleges (i.e:"Lock Haven University") in the States.
"Prior to his appointment at Lock Haven, Moore was the Chief Executive Officer and founder of the Singapore Professional Football League. He served as the national coach of Singapore, leading the team to unprecedented success including the national team’s first ever Malaysia Cup victory in 1994"
What a horrible mistake! Hope it was not Dougie who told those guys about that misleading fact.

I thought the SLeague was the brainchild of several people? Credits should be given to others as well and not only him.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, he's probably one of Singapore better coaches after Raddy.
I agreed it was a collective of ideas that shaped the S.League.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, the person who put it up might have misinterpreted or failed to verify this fact, any hero wanna email them abt the mistake??
Beside Raddy, it's "Uncle" Choo, who is still fondly remembered by all ...
Eveybody want to claim credits for S-league birth
ReplyDeleteLooked at John Koh, he claim in media interviews he dream of S-league back in 1992 already (But too bad his actions nvr match his words considering how he shit he treated the domestic league & clubs)
As for the Malaysia Cup, no doubt he added salt & vinegar as wht do USA knw abt football except Beckham & Pele
Anyway.. from the "sitemeter" noticed someone from LHU logged on to this blog.. wondering if it was Dougie or someone else?
