Poh Heads to Barclays Sydney

Poh's brief flirtation with the Singapore office came to an end on transfer deadline day in August 2005 when he put pen to paper on a trial with Barclays Sydney.

It was the transfer coup of the summer for the Aussies, beating off competition from Poh's mum, the banker's, erm... Mother.The banker had himself insisted, only days beforehand, that he would only consider a trial move to George Street IF his mum failed to make a move for his signature.

But Barclays Sydney rendered his comments worthless by tabling a club record bid, for the prolific banker.Not only did it put them in the driving seat in the transfer race, it ruled out almost all of their competitors who could not match the bid.

Poh held talks with Mum but it soon became clear she did not have the funds to match the Aussies' offer.

The Bukit Timah-born striker was voted the Hall King of the Year in 2001, and was voted as one the Long Serving Sports Personality of the Year in 2004.

The banker was instrumental in helping Singapore Ops as part of Project Acorn for Barclays London 2004.After the London tournament, and with just one year left on his contract, he departed the Colonade bound for Atrium.

He joined Singapore skipper Yeow Meng Eng at the Atrium in a bid to rejuvenate his career and challenge for honour domestically and in Asia Pacific.

The signing of Poh went down a storm in Sydney. The Aussies set up a huge welcome party at George Street, to which around 20,000 fans turned up on a Wednesday lunchtime.

He openly admitted his first choice was a return to London, but spoke of his desire to score deals for Sydney - much to the delight of the thronged masses.
