Noh was a  master of the dummy and body feint.  When right-back  Hasli Ibrahim  passed a ball forward to him, he would run towards it with his marker breathing down his neck but as he approached the ball, he will let it run throug...

In 2008, I wrote an article on Singapore soccer. It was simply titled Kallang and the Malaysia Cup: http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2008/10/kallang-and-malaysia-cup.html In 2011, I suddenly felt inspired to expand the topic and I wrote six more articles: The Kallang Roar parts 2,3,4, three other articles with the "Singapore Soccer Legends" garnering the most hits! http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-roar-part-two.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-roar-part-three.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/kallang-will-roar-again-part-four.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/07/singapore-soccer-way-forward.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/11/singapore-soccer-legends.html http://gforce-guru.blogspot.sg/2011/12/reviving-singapore-soccer.html Recently, a big local media company even used materials from my blog to feature Singapore soccer in a documentary or something and I did not even know what was used nor did ...
