6. Anthony
Position on the pitch: Right/Left Back, Right/Left Wing
Profile:
Now it might be a little unfair for me to write a Player Profile about Anthony, because I hardly knew the guy as well as the rest of MiB. The majority of the guys will remember him best for the years they spent together at SJI and how he became a good friend and then assimilated to be one of the founding members of MiB.
Anthony has always been a great buddy to hang out with, and has no "airs" about spending time with a group of football-crazy indian guys, which is perhaps the greatest attribute we can pay him. He is always in the midst of sharing a joke or playing a prank and despite only meeting him more than a handful number of times, I will always remember him as someone really friendly and easy to talk to.
Now that he has migrated to Canada (he still shows up once in a while), we have kinda lost in touch with him but I felt that it was important to include him in the MiB player profiles because he embodies all the good things about MiB FC. A good solid footballer, who always gives 100% in games, but a great friend off the pitch too. And it says a lot about MiB that we have members of all ethnic backgrounds and communities. Not many teams in Singapore or even the world can say that.
I hope that wherever he is, Anthony will one day stumble upon this website and get in touch with us again. We look forward to meeting and hanging out with him.
PS. For good measure, maybe you guys can leave some comments here about Anthony, all the great memories that you all had from SJI that I was not able to fit into this profile. I think we owe him that much. And can somebody get in touch with him?
