Fandi got only Pri 6(I heard). Those days people find it hard to accept that being lesser educated can command a much higher salary than those who are U-grads.

 

I once told the boss of a company we just jv, because all their employee is from NTU, I from Man U. Then another time my Lead lamented that we Supervisor all Diploma whilst they only WBH(workboard holder). Those who have work on Universal component inserting machine would know what's a WBH.

read from those local soccer magazine(back then), his pay in FAS was around 18K/month and that's w/o other sponsorships.

 

1 of those advert always shown halftime/before kickoff i can remember is he did a volley on a laser disc for pioneer.

My bad, with regards to Fandi education level. I did not followed Fandi's career. The point was that when he was about to break into professional, football was regarded as a hobby. Naturally there were lots of green-eyes in the 80s'. My favourite then was Quah Kim Song.

He was the few raw talent then, but sports as a career back then was like... :huh: 'com'on you guys should get a job'

There wasn't much support from government, grassroot, parents, sponsors......

But now the hype is still not there.

Sg as a sporting nation - probably

Sg as a football nation - ...........

when locals support local league more than EPL then there is a future.

Support as in gambling and betting doesn't help

This is really nostalgic. It's like walking down memory lane ... The Malaysian cup days were 'the days' :D

Bring back M'sia Cup?

 

The only way to increase the crowd of the good ol'days is to unite S-League clubs with M'sia & Brunei. Imagine playing in packed stadiums listening to the thunderous roars!

 

Think am dreamin? they say it's starts with a dream. Any takers?

Still cannot believe his deciding against Ajax, cannot imagine what it would have done for Singapore football with the insurge of scouts and the locals' focus on the sport.

 

"Driving 80km/h on a highway of 120km/h with the music full on" <-- Haha.. Singaporean.. [laugh]

Think it was cos his parents wanted him to be closer to home. So returned to play for an Indonesian team.
