Francis Thomas is a football-goalkeeping name you’ll remember. A humble soft-spoken goalkeeper, who played pro football for Home United in the 2000 year.
He came to Singapore 27 years ago from Penang and was a popular name in Singapore footballing circles. After his playing era in the No 1 jersey, he went on to coach Home United, Hougang United, Singapore Cricket Club NFL Team and at the International Soccer Academy.
In a nutshell, he’s a true-blue footballer.
But today, he needs your help as he’s fighting for his life, bed-ridden in a serious state of cancer, at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Yishun: Ward B96 Bed 9.
The family is struggling to pay the medical bills. His homemaker-wife, Sobrielo Olga Mary, is appealing for humble donations. Your small contributions will be much appreciated.
Two fund-raisers have been arranged: Next Sunday (Oct 27 from 3.00pm to 7.00pm) at Turf City a football match at $500 per team. The following Tuesday (Oct 29 at 7.00pm), a fund-raiser dinner at $50 per head at Singapore Indian Association, Balestier Road.
Kindly offer a helping hand by contacting Mr Ravi Krishnan (mobile: 98522775 for the Oct 29 dinner) & Mr Ismail (mobile: 96307552) for the Oct 27 friendly match.
You may also send a cheque, payable to Francis Thomas, to Block 620, #03-3204, Yishun Ring Road, Singapore 760620.
