THE GLORY DAYS AT THE ENGLISH COLLEGE JOHOR BAHRU

~"We salute you Sir Johnny Tan !" ~

People say, "Rugby is the Game of the Mind". I say that, "Rugby is a Gentlemen's Game". One thing for sure, now I realise that the English College's 'paddy field' that we later converted into a proper rugby ground, made us to be "gentlemen with great minds" ! It was this team that defeated SEDAR, SMS Keluang, RMC, MCKK and the schools within the state. Our scores were in the 10s in most of the matches. Our real rivals were from Singapore and from foreign schools. Should I start playing at an early age, I would have been a flying rugger. Despite being a late starter, the passion grew further. At UiTM I was the Captain for several 7-a side competitions.
