Its squad consisted of players from Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya and Ghana. The club finished in 9th place out of 11 teams in the S.League in the 2006 season. They were involved in a number of off-field controversies, and their application to participate in the S.League again in 2007 was rejected by the FAS. The club played its home games at the Yishun Stadium.

In June 2006, it was reported that, while the players had been promised monthly salaries of S$1,60 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
