Singapore 2

 

Khairul Amri
during unknown match of the 2017 Suzuki Cup

If you know anything about Singapore football, you arguable know Khairul Amri, a man that has 135 international matches under his belt. This man has seen it all, really, and was part of the Singapore squads that lifted the AFF Championship in 2004, 2007 and 2012, respectively. That he did not stop there is proven by this picture - and this shirt. In 2017, five years after his third AFF Championship, he still played in the same tournament, though much less successful.

This shirt is not from that tournament. But it is, apparently, match worn. Amri wore it in a friendly match in 2017. I got it from a Singaporean collector for somewhere around 80 Euro, if I recall correctly. It is a boring shirt and I will not spare more time on describing HOW boring it is. It is red!

Speaking of Singapore, I have actually been there recently. In June 2024, I had a work trip to Indonesia for a conference and had the chance to spend almost 48 hours in the small city state. Of course, I took the opportunity to take a picture of myself in my infamous Tiger Singapore shirt in front of the best known building in town. If you ever have the chance to visit Singapore, go for it. It is beautiful and probably one of my favourite cities now.
