Marko 0 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) This is doing my head in, it must be about 15 years ago or so we played over in Asia as part of our pre season and we beat a national side I think, Might have been Malaysia or Hong Kong? can anyone remember this! I distinctly remember one of our players possibly Peter Beardsley falling over whilst taking a corner kick and immediately pretending he fell to the ground on purpose to do push ups!? can anyone put me out of my misery!?

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Aye, summer of 1996. It was the summer we signed Shearer cos he signed and then flew out to join the rest of the team and the Chronicle had photos of him in the airport departure lounge wearing an NUFC tracksuit, accompanied by Freddie Fletcher. I believe it was the Thailand national team we played, but I'm sure we played matches in Hong Kong and Malaysia as well. *checks NUFC.com* Half right. A 2-1 win against Thailand, followed by a 5-0 victory over an S-League All Stars XI in Singapore and then a 3-1 loss to Japanese side Gamba Osaka.
