Ben Davis was the first Singaporean footballer to sign for a top-tier English club.

The 18-year-old midfielder came on as an 89th-minute substitute, replacing American Luca de la Torre.

Davis, a former Singapore Sports School student, had joined Fulham in July 2017 on a two-year scholarship deal, and subsequently signed a two-year contract in July 2018. However, the Ministry of Defence rejected Davis’ request to defer his National Service enlistment date, as he “does not meet the criteria for long-term deferment from full-time NS”.
