Shafi Booked By Oerlikon
Swedish V.320 newcomers Oerlikon BK would give Farmer Bunnies' Mohd Shafi Helmy the honour of being their first-ever signing, as Christian Karlsson offered a free transfer to the soon-to-be nineteen year-old - a deal that was gratefully accepted. A childhood -= Manchester United =- fan, Mohd Shafi would be turned down from their youth setup, only to be taken up by Yip De Da for the Rancher Rabbits.
A central midfielder through and through, Mohd Shafi had been described as a coach's dream, for his willingness to follow instructions to the letter. His perceived passivity has not always been regarded as a virtue, fair to say, and Bunnies assistant coach Li Aik Meng urged him to impose himself a little more. "He's got to make his presence felt." Li suggested. "Call for the ball more, take more upon himself."
