2004.
Needing 2 more goals to complete his set of 200 for Home United, Egmar Goncalves duly obliged with
a clinical double in the first half of the Protectors'
Also as if to
make an extra point that there is still life in him in the S-league at 34 &
past the 200 target, the ex-Singapore international forward struck his 201st
goal as well as a trick for the game with a perfectly poached gem 7 minutes
from the end.
Sinchi keeper Lin Jun
could only shake his head at the finish, while Egmar
wheeled away in the celebration that has become so familiar.
Never mind
that specially designed t-shirts to commemorate his 200th goal were unable to
be unveiled during the match, for fear of violating new FIFA rules prohibiting
players yanking off their jerseys, this was Egmar's
night.
The man
himself was keen to share the spotlight though.
He said it
was not only about his goals, but about the team winning first. Also he credits
his team-mates as well for making the types of chances that enable him to score
all those 201 goals.
At the same
time he felt his striker partner Indra will hit it
sooner or later & even surpass himself as at his age it is impossible to
get 300 S-league goals.
