On Mar 25, the Singapore Recreation Club hosted the launch of the book titled ‘Uncle Choo: The Untold Story of Singapore Football’s Legendary Coach. Among those present were players who had played under the former Singapore coach Choo Seng Quee and other former national football players such as Quah Kim Song, Ho Kwang Hock, Tay Peng Kee, R.
“I met and heard many football stories from the legends. They shared little snippets of what Uncle Choo meant to them. His tireless work ethic, insatiable appetite for perfection, technical skills, larger than life personality has helped to uplift the standards of football during that period. Suria told me how he once had to juggle a ball for the full hour that Uncle Choo was discussing tactics with the team,” added the Minister.
The late Uncle Choo who died in 1983, was well-known for orchestrating the 1977 Malaysia Cup win and Quah scored the winning goal in their 3-2 win against Penang. The win at that time was meaningful for Singapore as the team lifted the trophy after a 12-year drought. The book also chronicles Uncle Choo’s dedication and passion for football as he devoted his life to the game and his love for it was evident in his coaching style.
