He's back and he's better 👀  Jacob Mahler takes the hot seat and is the first guest of 2023!  

Having played alongside Jacob for the last 2 years, seeing him go down in April of 2022 with a torn ACL was heart-breaking for his friends and loved ones. But worst of all, it stopped Jacob from leading out the Singapore U23 National Team at the 31st SEA Games.   

We talk about his footballing journey thus far, how the last nine months of rehab have taught him a lot about himself and his body as well as the responsibility he has a captain and a role-model for those around him.

Next Up: Mr Vincent Bezecourt 🦅 

I sat down with Vincent for a nice chat on his accidental foray into Professional Football and what a journey it’s been for him! 

Having played alongside and been coached by future Premier League players and coaches, his pedigree has been on full display this year in the SPL and what a treat it’s been for fans such as myself. ⚡️ 

His journey wasn’t always clear cut, and he almost called it quits on Professional Football after graduating from University back in 2015. He has further goals and aspirations on and off the pitch, so to be sure to tune in.
