Wth this gift and on that very same evening I went off to play hockey in a little makeshift pitch with guys much older than I.<br \/>\nNot long after we started playing, someone stepped on my precious gift and broke it. With broken stick in hand, followed by a solicitous elder brother, I ran back home in tears.<br \/>\nMy elder brother suggested to my mum that if he could cut off a branch of the guava (jambu) tree, an \u2018L\u2019 shaped branch of course, that would replace the broken stick. My mum insisted we wait for my dad to return home from work. When he did he cut off an \u2018L\u2019 shaped branch, and with this in hand I went off to play once again. What would we do without improvisation!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A-J8suCTSxQ?controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>From this early introduction, my interest in the game grew and I went on to play hockey for the school team, the state combined schools team, clubs, the state of Negri Sembilan, Malaysian Police and, finally, the national team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-440 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-329x420.jpg 329w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-640x818.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05-681x870.jpg 681w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-05.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is with pride I can say that I achieved my ultimate goal: wearing the national colours.<br \/>\nThis was not achieved on my own. I was guided and groomed, in my opinion, by the very best of coaches. He is none other than Lawrence van Huizen. He had the ability to spot talent. He also had the knack of enhancing this talent and leveraging it to achieving the best. He instilled in me discipline, dedication, confidence, and most of all, humility. He was that one inspiration that made the player and person I am today.

The likes of the late Henry Sta Maria, M Joseph, Dato\u2019 Yoges and Ho Koh Chye. Yoges told me after one training session: \u201cFranco you have got tremendous skills, use it. Don\u2019t allow bullying to put you off your game. Opposition players will do this, using rough tactics. Don\u2019t ever lose your temper, but further annoy them as they can\u2019t get the ball off you.\u201d He made me think, I followed his advice, and it paid off.<br \/>\nThrough hockey I learnt a great deal. Making loads of friends, travelling to various countries, and this greatly contributed to me being an understanding person. What experience I learnt through knowledge I acquired in the field of hockey I put this into practice in my professional life. It certainly made me the person I am today.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-437\" src=\"https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-648x420.jpg 648w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-341x220.jpg 341w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-640x415.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02-681x441.jpg 681w, https:\/\/mysportsflame.com\/sportsflame\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/franco-02.jpg 793w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I immigrated to Sydney, Australia, in 1973, after playing for Malaysia in the World Cup held in Amsterdam.
