After reading kottke’s post about some of the best moments in Olympic history, I got nostalgic and started searching for what I consider the BEST moment in Singapore’s sporting history – the double we did in 1994. I can’t remember the matches and the goals, everything has merged into one big blur but I cannot forget the emotions I experienced that year, the excitement, the sadness and the eventual unbridled joy when, arguably, Singapore’s favorite son Fandi Ahmad lifted the cup.
The Kalland Wave !!!!! We even had a conductor for that.
Good times.
Anyway, to feed the nostalgia, some videos on YouTube about the best moment in Singapore’s sporting history:

Oh wow! These videos sure bring back such wonderful memories. I remember being in the stands on the upper tier during the final. Probably the best Malaysia Cup match I’ve ever watched. Sadly, it was the last too.

Besides the double in ‘94, another most memorable scene happened at home. V. Sundramoorthy scored from a awesome bicycle kick into Brunei’s end. I was there. The crowd was stunned for a second moment before we all erupted into a euphoria state.

No disrespect to Brunei, but they were always the team for us to make up the goals.
Loved his dribbling too.
