“Standing next to him was like ‘wow, he’s huge.’ His athleticism and tenacity as a defensive midfielder are something that’s really hard to find."
How did he learn about Dunfermline Athletic?

Wesley Lim first learnt about Dunfermline Athletic at the 2004 Scottish Cup final. The final of the match was played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, where Celtic won 3–1.
“When I was ten, I watched the Scottish League Cup Final against Celtic. That was the first time I ever heard of Dunfermline,” he said.
“It aired on free television in Singapore, so I knew of the team since then. I started to really follow them in the past few weeks, and I’ve been looking forward to my trip here.”
