What is an accomplished lawyer doing in the Singapore football scene? A partner in his own law firm, and having honed his craft in some of the best law firms of the land, Desmond Ong was approached some years back to steady the ship at Tampines Rovers FC after the club steered itself into some financial trouble.

Hear from him as he talks about his journey in local football. In Part 1, he talks about how he was approached, why he is doing this, and of course the highs and lows of his time thus far. He also speaks about the club's philosophy and how Gavin is a huge part of it.

Added bonus as Eddy (a Lion City Sailors fan) and Desmond commiserate together as their clubs both lost 3-2 after leading 2-0 in continental competition days before the recording of this episode.
