10-15 yrs ago, police officers were given free tickets to bring their families, watch Police FC whenever the team plays in the league.
my father, bro and i attended all their matches.
there were 5 brazilians in the team, including the head coach.
Police FC then became Home United, home ground being Bishan stadium.
we had very few supporters. we played badly, week in, week out.
i attended every home game without fail.
most of the guys who play football in Bishan were loyal supporters as well.
always turning up in full support of their local team.
Robert Alberts came along. so did Zcolt Bucs, ernest tapai, etc.
good players from the Police FC and Home U prime league team started to emerge.
season after season, we improved.
many pple started supporting Home United. the stadium became full.
cheerleaders were brought in for half time entertainment.
various police units exhibited their skills too, KINS, K9, etc..
the confidence in the team began to show and players were scoring from halfway line, directly from corner kicks, etc.
finally becoming champion in 1999.
yes, i am serious.
Gusta Guzarishah scored straight from a corner against Gombak, if i can remember correctly.
im 23 this year.
so the players i put up in my previous post, to me are the best since i was 12.
i can name u 22 players in total. but i'll stop at 11.
and i've not mentioned about Tamil Marren, Azhar Baksin, etc..
Pple are ignorant of this and i hate to be the one telling them this.
Nor Alam Shah is, currently, the complete striker where singapore football is concerned.
only his temperament.
we need to look at other possibilities for places in the national team.
so yea, hopefully, we can fly our flag up high again, where football is concerned.
