Fandi: Honour & Sacrifice

Fandi has defied the odds to become one of Singapore’s most beloved personalities. The biography offers a first-hand insight into the relentless hard work, motivations, and sacrifices Fandi Ahmad made since he started playing football as a young boy.

Author Durga Poonambalam writes about Fandi’s life as reflected and related by him.
