INTERVIEW: Footballer Fandi Ahmad is a Singaporean sporting legend: We find out why
Fandi Ahmad is more than just a footballer; has been described as a national legend in Singapore. He was the first Singaporean footballer to play in Europe, the first Singaporean millionaire sportsperson and the first Singaporean sportsperson to have a published biography. As a young child, his family lived in a two-room public housing flat, Fandi was obsessed with football and spent much of his time kicking a ball. He became arguably Asia's best known footballer. He's shared the pitch with Diego Maradona, and was picked to play for Dutch football giant Ajax - an offer he subsequently turned down. Fandi's Muslim faith is central to his life. He avoids scandals, does not smoke or drink, and has been described as humble, filial, and compassionate. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, he talks to SBS's Christopher Tan
