#bftp9am - HUFC'S 2016 MEET-AND-GREET
๐ It is most unfortunate not to see Singapore Premier League clubs hosting events like meet-and-greet like Home United did in 2016 due to Covid situation.
๐ In my opinion, the mentioned 2016 event by the Protectors was a success, as it was well-attended with fans queuing up for photo opportunities and signing of autographs by the players, as seen in the attached photos.

OLDEST SINGAPOREAN PLAYER IN A LOCAL PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL MATCH
The previous holder of that record was Bennett's former SAFFC and Lions team mate Aleksandar Duric who played for Tampines Rovers against Brunei DPMM in a Singapore Cup match on 5/11/2014 at the age 44 years and 85 days.
However, this does not mean the 146-capped Tanjong Pagar United defender is the oldest ever player to play in a Singapore professional football match, as currently that honour belongs to Bruneian Alizanda Sitom.
A check with Football Association of Singapore revealed Alizanda Sitom was 46 years, 8 months and 4 days old when he completed Brunei DPMMโs 2-0 win Hougang United on 2 April 2017 in the S.League.

#bftp9am - THE LAST S.LEAGUE "CEO"
Former SAFFC Chairman Lim Chin was named S.League CEO in January 2012.

RIP ALAN WONG (FMR GOMBAK UTD TEAM MANAGER)
Former Gombak United team manager Alan Wong (file picture, as credited) passed away on 13/4/24, aged 59.
Wong was instrumental in steering the Bulls to make their S.League debut in 1998 - the same year saw him clinched the "Manager of The Year" award.
He resigned from the mentioned position the following year to concentrate his role as team manager of NFL (National Football League) side Redhill Rangers, a role he held concurrently with the one at Gombak United until October 1999 when the two entities went separate ways (Redhill Rangers successfully applied to join the S.League, leading to their renaming as Gombak United. However, they continued to exist in the lower-tier NFL under the same name).
