The sturdy defender strapped the armband with pride for 11 years from the mid-1950s to the 1960s. <br /><br />SAFA had become the Football Association of Singapore in 1952, and nine years later, the league was halted. It would not begin again until 1975, when Geylang International ushered in a new era with their first ever title win. <br /><br />The Football Association of Singapore kept up the forward-thinking roots of SAFA when they banded together with 11 other nations - Afghanistan, Burma, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea Republic, Pakistan, the Philippines and Vietnam to form the Asian Football Confederation in Manila on May 8, 1954. <br /><br />The FAS' longest-serving administrator ran the show in this period. Soh Ghee Soon, president of SAFA from the early 1950s to the FAS in 1963, also served as an AFC Vice-President. <br /><br />(To read more check the connection above).FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF SINGAPOREhttp://www.fas.org.sg/fas/history-footballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-52730425738694652732014-06-24T21:05:15.762+08:002014-06-24T21:05:15.762+08:00Simon junior is in KL (Cheras).
