2000 - Universal Game

Posted Sat, 04/01/2006 - 13:00 by eric

1999-2000 is the last year I spent in my university, which is also my last year of regular football. Therefore, I took my chance. Not even regular, I have doubled up my games played.

I joined my dear singaporean friends, HeHin and ChunLiang to play for Singaporean League on Saturday morning, right before our afternoon league game. The goal was small but the spectators were great. I wasn't a good finisher in the team. However, I have linked Raymond in the team as well :P I gave him the first goal in the very first match.

1998 - The Strongest Team

Posted Fri, 03/31/2006 - 13:00 by eric

After one year of captaincy, I found out forming a team is not easy. Finding someone not only like playing, but also can play was very hard.

We were crashed badly. Hmm... We, especially, Humphrey..... That was also a year of enjoying football. Playing football to whoever wanting to play. However, I could still remember how helpless we were when me and Alan tried to find out what has happened in UCL pitch... Anyway~

1997 - Eric the Captain

After the first tournament, I fitted quite comfortably in the team, scoring few goals as a left back.

I like football practise. I could practise alone anywhere. Even now, I still have a size 2 football with me (with me in Italy on business trip) at my living place. Like people like to smoke, I like to play football, it's addiction.

1996 - Waiting Chance

Posted Sat, 03/16/2002 - 13:00 by eric

It was 1996, I left Wells Cathedral School and started my University life.

I can say, my University life is the golden time for my football.

From Wells, I got confidence, patience, skills and injuries. I am capable of playing with any people, read the game and understand their moves. I was not born as a good player, however, I tried my best every game. When I was young, I played till I got cramp every time, because I love football.

1995 - Friday night football

Posted Tue, 03/05/2002 - 13:00 by eric

As mentioned in the last chapter, I did quickly get a good reputation for me playing football. I wasn't a brilliant player, but I knew some football tricks: a bit of keep the ball up without letting it drop after 100 kicks, something like that. I enjoyed playing football even with my own self. From time to time, at night, I would put some rose petals on the garden field. Since the rose were white, I then could do some dribbling and running with the ball around the petals. I did have an enjoyable time.

1994 - A New Player

Posted Mon, 03/04/2002 - 13:00 by eric

After the 94 World Cup in USA, I went to UK for study. Disappointingly, Wells Cathedral School is not so emphasize on Football. Hmm.. yes, so don't think UK school should play football.

However, I introduced myself as Eric Tse, I like football very much.... Even they don't have a proper school team in high school there, they have nice football pitch. And also, as I am a broader, staff do play indoor football with students on Friday night. My UK football story starts here...

1993 - First Jersey

Posted Sun, 03/03/2002 - 13:00 by eric

Finally, I got into the School Team. I was excited and without notice, I have built up a good sense of team work; and most important amongst all, skills and strength that help me a lot in the future. Practise for the school team was on Sat. and during weekdays, mainly with other friends like Steven, Clement and Donald, we played as 7-a-side team.

1992 - A Game of Mine

Posted Sat, 03/02/2002 - 13:00 by eric

My right ankle has recovered though I never took a rest. It sprains quite easily since then. My mom did not support me playing football, as I hurted myself very often at the very beginning. For the same reason in F.3, I missed the day of school soccer team selection. However, luckily by chance, the teacher organised the school team asked me whether I would like to join them. I asked my parents and they allowed me to play. (okay, I do respect my parents a lot.)

1991 - Boy to Man

Posted Fri, 03/01/2002 - 13:00 by eric

After the World Cup in Italy, I started to play football. Before that, I was completely protected by my family.

I loved football, and I always played football after school. At that time, with my classmates, we joined a tournament that held inside our college. My friend, Jack Tsoi, who was the best player amongst us that time, was appointed as our captain. Moreover, Jacky Ho (Keith), my closed friend who I really loved to pass the ball to him in front, has helped me to be a good passer, and eventually a mid-field player.
