Now let me tell you about the "love of my life"...A fiery romance that is now in its 17th year...yes... this romance/relationship started when i was 8..A whirlwind romance that gave me elation and ectasy.. sometimes even makes me cry...Mates,this is the story of my love affair with Selangor F.C...
It all started in 1991, I was 8 at that time..I went to my almarhum pak itam's house..there i saw him with my pak uda watching some footie on tv..being an inquisitive child, i asked them.. "what are you watching?"..."football" answered my pak uda..."our football?" i asked.."yes,Selangor Football"...then something magical happened...i sit with them and watch the highlights of the 1991 Malaysian Cup highlights...i was lovestruck (still am)..I swore allegiance and loyalty towards Selangor and my life changed forever....
We didn't win anything for the first five years of "our romance"...i suffered many heartbreak... the 1991 Malaysian Cup Final..we lost 3-1 to Johor ( damn you ervin boban!!)..after that my heart was broken once more..we lost the 1994 Malaysian Cup semi-final to Singapore(the eternal ENEMY!!)....however i kept on believing...
I was rewarded in 1995 when ken worden brought local (i mean selangor boys lah)young players into the team...their are a hungry and determined lot...with ken worden brand of short-passing game we won the 1995 Malaysia cup...and keep the cup for two more years!!!! WE WON THE MALAYSIA CUP 3 YEARS ON THE TROT!!! 1995-1996-1997....this was the best selangor side i've ever since...however i was not honest in our "relationship"...i have a mistress..in 1995 i started "seeing" Manchester United on the side...when we hit rock bottom and were relegated in 1998 i started to stray....however we settled our predicament and ramble on....we won the cup two more times in 2002 and 2005...this year we made it to the final of the F.A and Malaysia cup but were beaten by the same scoreline (3-2) by the "better" Kedah side
This year Selangor hired the first "professional" manager in Malaysian Footbal History...Zakaria Abdul Rahim or Abang Zek did quite well in his first year and endeared himself to the shah alam faithful...At the end of this season abg zek presented his visionary plan in making Selangor the best in asia by 2015...his plan is to qualify and win the AFC Cup next year....by doing so we will qulify to the AFC champions league as a "wildcard" entrant...and ultimately lift the AFC Champion League by 2015...
I have good feeling about next year...the 2009 have a good mix of experience and youth... adding three more selangor boys to the squad was a good move by the new coach (k.devan)...the only questionable move was the addition of k.nanthakumar(nantha) and khairul anuar baharom(acong)... you see sometimes nantha is not comfortable on the ball and often lose possesion...acong on the other hand is 34...and deemed too old by the shah alam faithful...however i have great faith in both of them...they are true proffesional and i know they will lead and be the catalyst of the selangor revival 2009!!!
MERAH KUNING ITU SELANGOR!!
