Phil, Malaysia is formed in 2 parts - the Peninsular which is connected to Thailand and is just north of Singapore and another a part of Borneo island, we usually call East Malaysia. I was born in the nothern state in the Peninsular bordering with Thailand but have been living in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, which is on the western side of the Peninsular and a bit below the middle.
There used to be some of us here - Babu is one, and a scouser who calls himself peewee, peewee suddenly bolted off to Thailand sometime late last year, and I presume he has been there since. I think peewee had been fooling around with too many women (or were they men?) here and probably needed a new challenge by sampling the much larger 50+million Thais.
If you want to know a bit of my history with Liverpool - in 1975 when I was a wee boy (so were you then), I followed my dad to England when he was doing his post-graduate studies at Norwich. My elder brother and I took a liking to one Kevin Keegan, a fantastic buzz of a player, and we followed his then club, Liverpool Football Club, and got more and more hooked. The kids at school in the outskirts of Norwich are naturally fans of Norwich City who were then in the same First Division as us and I get a lot of stick for being the only Liverpool fan. By the end of the season, Sir Bob Paisley won his first two trophies, the league championship and the UEFA Cup, and Keegan and Toshack were very effective as the "little and large" partnership.
By the end of the 1976/77 season, Keegan left yet I then realised that I loved the club much more than the player. My brother and I kept reading news and watching clips of a terriffic Scottish player who plays for Celtic and seemed to score all of the time. We had always wished that Sir Bob would buy him and when Keegan left, I was ecstatic to hear the news that this Scot, Kenny Dalglish joined us as Keegan's replacement.
We came back to Malaysia in August 1977 and I kept following Liverpool. I myself had the opportunity to further my studies in England and from September 1988 until May 1993, I lived in Norwich and then London.
I have been a Liverpool fan for some 21 years now.
We get live games thanks to cable tv, but for the European matches, we get them at 3:00 a.m. but heck, that's not going to stop me following Liverpool. There are quite a few of Liverpool fans here in these parts of the world as Liverpool is a famous football institution.
YNWA.
Thanks for that fascinating story.I can relate to everything you have said.I have to admit though at the end of the 76/77 season i was 9 born 1968,and Kenny Dalglish meant very little to me as scotland didnt really interest me.He soon became my idol though and still is.I had the honour of being behind the goal when he scored the winner at wembley in the 78 european cup final against Bruges.Funny enough apart from Ray Kennedy...Keegan had always been my favourite player too and still followed him when in an England Shirt.Kenny also had that effect on me with Scotland and i started cheering Scotland on too because of him and also Souness,Hansen etc.I so wanted Scotland to do well in Argentina 78.
Anyway it sounds a lovely place you live,lucky you.
