Gary Koh – Pioneer Women Footballers of Singapore Part 2 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

<p>Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Gary Koh recounts both the golden and dimmer years of women’s football in Singapore from the ‘80s but offers some hope – there has been a resurgence in recent years. The semangat (spirit) that drove the earlier Lionesses could be an inspiration for the current generation. Gary and I discuss the strengths of the women’s game (compared to the men, less playacting) and how it can continue to grow in Singapore.</p><p><br></p><p>Part 1 | https://youtu.be/ilmPmbx61yQ </p><p>Part 2 | https://youtu.be/LhAarwfOO64</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Winning Lionesses</p><p>06:14 Guangzhou Tournament</p><p>07:50 Difficult Years</p><p>11:10 Recent Resurgence</p><p>16:33 Semangat (Spirit)</p><p>20:37 Turning Pro?</p><p>27:52 Raising Interest </p><p>32:14 The Women’s Game</p><p><br></p><p>Coach Choo Seng Quee, a Giant of Singapore Football</p><p>https://biblioasia.nlb.gov.sg/all-sections/vol-19-issue-3-oct-dec-2023-choo-seng-quee-football-coach/</p><p>ROAR: Football Legends of Singapore</p><p>https://pagesetters.sg/ROAR/</p><p>A princely endeavour: Meet Chelsea&#39;s rising star who&#39;s Bruneian royalty</p><p>https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/princely-endeavour-meet-chelseas-rising-star-whos-bruneian-royalty</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
