Quotes

"Every time when we trooped out into the National Stadium, you can get this Kallang Roar...the fans cheering us, it was full house....That kind of feeling, I think I cannot describe," said former national team striker Quah Kim Song.

"It was like a fire, you know, hoof! It went on fire. First game, (it) was 15,000 (spectators), second game 40,000, third game 55,000 and so on. For eight years, stadium was full," said N Ganesan, former chairman of Football Association of Singapore.
