Gary Koh – Pioneer Women Footballers of Singapore Part 1 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Gary Koh, a historian of Singapore football, talks about the origins of the women’s game from the 1960s to the early 1980s. Our pioneer Lionesses were drawn from all walks of life – the university, public service and MNCs. Despite the lack of funding and support, they became a dominant force in the Puan Sharifah Rodziah Cup, the women’s version of the Malaysia Cup.Part 1 | https://youtu.be/ilmPmbx61yQ Part 2 | https://youtu.be/LhAarwfOO6400:00 Introduction03:28 Researching Women’s Football08:53 The 1960s14:34 Ban in Britain15:26 Women’s Charter21:39 The 1970s26:46 Financial Struggles29:46 Business Houses33:11 Dominance in MalaysiaCoach Choo Seng Quee, a Giant of Singapore Footballhttps://biblioasia.nlb.gov.sg/all-sections/vol-19-issue-3-oct-dec-2023-choo-seng-quee-football-coach/ROAR: Football Legends of Singaporehttps://pagesetters.sg/ROAR/A princely endeavour: Meet Chelsea's rising star who's Bruneian royaltyhttps://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/princely-endeavour-meet-chelseas-rising-star-whos-bruneian-royaltyWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
