Crowning of YSOSRS FC's 4th Player's Player of the Season

As per the title, voting had commenced 2 Sundays back in what eventually became a week long campaign.In the end, 31 different voters (Not exactly FIFA-esque standards) but still a considerable number for us, took some time off their daily activities to show their support for their favourites within the team. Thank you so very much people!!


Just as us Jokers have always done at the end of every season regardless of how good or poor our performances have been, we have once again crowned a winner in this year's edition! 

Interestingly, results showed a close 3 horse race for the privilege of being the Player of the Season and it is our honour to announce that ended up with a tie for 1st place with 13 votes each from 2 members! Perhaps a penalty shootout could be used to settle this someday. Hahaha. Unprecedented stuff yo. And thus, we will have a joint Joker's Player of the Season!!

*Our 2 winners combine for a move in one photo shot. Perfecto 

Firstly, we have the man who has been a revelation who also stepped in courageously to fill the enormous shoes left vacated by our Hall of Famer and goalscoring machine, Juffie Boy. Gangly in frame and yet ever so quick on the ground, our debutant this season proceeded to blast 10 goals in 11 outings for the Jokers and also end up as the team's top goalscorer in Division 1. 

A couple of particularly memorable goals from him include the 30 yard chip over the FMFC keeper in our 1st meeting this season, smashing freekicks that nestled into the top corner against Sporting TGA and Stamford respectively and finally an oh so crucial breakaway goal against St Andrews in our 4-2 defeat at Bedok South Sec. Many many more to add to that list folks. But you get the idea. =)

I must say that this man has taken to the team and it's culture like a fish has to water. A perfect match indeed. So let me now present to you one of our 2 winners, Izwann Crouchie!!

This was what the man himself had to say and we have the raw and uncut version of it all yo.

Firstly thanks for selecting me in this team and im very glad to be of it.. When I play my first game with YSOSRS i was really impressed but I scared that some of the player don't like me (Law and Rudee, cause he say both your faces damn fierce) which seriously worried me haha! 

Then when the league get going and I get to know you guys well. I can only say that you guys are GREAT! HAHAHA I have had alot of fun playing with this team and I will repay this through my actions on the pitch. (I am da Number One yo)

Lastly thank you for those who vote for me (I will treat each one of you to Nasi Lemak)..

And of course we have to end with: WHY SO SERIOUS!............... 

Next up we have our newly selected Vice Captain, Del Syafiqo! Crowning off what has been an amazing season for one of his loves, the Bianconeri (Juventus) who capped off a trying few seasons for the team as Champions of the Serie A in this year's edition, Syafiq simultaneously wowed many with his commitment, guile and determination on the pitch during the tough times for the Jokers.

Scoring a couple and making a whole lot more, our Vice Captain has successfully overcome the naysayers to his appointment (specifically Dinietov) and produced an outstanding season of personal performances.

It might be interesting for many to know that Syafiq was our very 1st Players Player of the Season in our maiden D2D campaign as well! Congrats Fiq!!

Firstly, thank you to those who voted for me. It's an honour to have such recognition from you guys. Haha. Also, i share this with Izwann who probably could win this outright for banging them goals in this season.

This season we started off strongly. We were the front-runners for the early part of the season. However, imo we couldn't cope quickly enough without the services of some key players. There is also the suspicion that the slump coincided with me being appointed as Vice capt. Haha basket. 

However, im stoked about the upcoming season with the return of the old players. Clear quality reinforcements. hopefully, we can win more games than not this upcoming season, and develop together as a team.As pointed out mokie, I'm one of the elders the team haha. To be still playing together after 2 years plus is an achievement on its own. Just want to say that i'm grateful to be able to play alongside good friends and get to know you guys. :))

YSOSRS!

P.S: So yes folks, both of them players will get a token gesture of 2 free games as a result of them being named as YSOSRS FC's Player of the Season. 

For the rest, fear not as your efforts have not gone unnoticed with core players such as El Capitan Ronald, The Ever Present Law, Mr Consistent Farhan, Mr Consistent II Hizam, Mr Scottie Pharker WeiSheng, New Botak boy Eugene, Chiongster Eric, Mr Warrior himself Jason and The Enigma and still the number 1 magician Dinietov contributing much to pull us through a tough tough season. 

I have not forgotten the rest such as the dormant Ubai who surely has to come good for us one day with all his ability, The King of Offside Calls Huijie, Mr Ninja-No-Warrior Ah Cool, Da No Nonsense Kavic, our very own Owen Hargreaves of the team Jassie boy as well as Mr Lincoln + Scofield lookalike Habibbibibib, the Always Shinpad-less Mimi to players such as Hafiz who has become one of our own. Oh of course, there is also our very own Daddy Dee (Hooyahhh!). Haha, lastly our grand old dad, Allan Schmeichel the nutter who will be missed for the upcoming campaign. Much love all. 

Special thanks to the young contingent of Santosh and Khairul. Our talented younglings who will be back with us sooner rather than later to much anticipation from the team. 

Finally, to the one man who decided to embark on a sabbatical but has written so much of our history with his goals, words and heart on his sleeves performances for the jokers, Juffie boy. Thank you bro.

Much to look forward to in the coming season but what does not change would be how we approach it. Let us enjoy the coming season folks. <3
