THE ATHLETIC HAD THE BEST PLAYER ON VIEW IN TSUI AH-FAI, THEIR PIVOT. HE WAS THE INSPIRATION OF EVERY MOVE, AND SUPPLIED "DARKIE" CHAN AND HO KA-KEUNG WITH COUNTLESS PERFECT PASSES. IN TACKLING AND SPOILING HE STOOD HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE OTHERS, AND, FUNG KING-CHEONG, WHOM HE WAS MARKING, WAS NEVER IN THE PICTURE:
