undoubtedly the most graceful player to ever grace hockey pitch, sant burst onto the scene as a classy left-back and after a successful debut year as the star of trinity college, he was spotted by then vice-captain ong siong ian, and immediately recruited to swanston street football club.

since his arrival, sant formed an almost telepathic understanding with his defensive partner ian on the left side of defence. also equally capable of attacking, sant's only weakness was that he didn't want to shoot. not that he couldn't shoot, but that he didnt want to.

nonetheless, sant regularly was high up in the assists rankings, and this didn't go unnoticed. other teams targeted sant for a big-money move, and fake galatasaray even loaned him for a match earlier this year. however, sant's loyalty and love for peking duck saw him stay at hockey pitch.

at the start of 2006, sant resisted a move back to hometown club bangkok jam fc to stay at hockey pitch for another six months. as previous captain ian had retired at the end of the previous season, there was only ever going to be one choice for the new captain.

forming a partnership with new signing danikumar, sant captained the team to a great ratio of 52 wins, and 0 losses in the 2006 first half season. he was further rewarded by being capped by uncle mai tai's team, where he played every game in the thai world cup, scoring his first and only goal for them in the third place playoff, where they won the bronze medal.

sant's off the pitch model behavior was only slighty affected by his addiction to coke. suprisingly, he was addicted not to the drug, but the drink!! having recently hung up his boots, sant has handed on the captain's jersey to weian, but has also left a legacy for many more defenders to follow.
