Noh Alam Shah
Once regarded as one of the best forwards in South East Asia, Alam Shah was a member of the Singapore national football team when it won the ASEAN Football Championship in 2005 and 2007. At the 2007 competition, he was the top individual scorer and was named the 'Most Valuable Player' of the tournament. He is overall top goalscorer in ASEAN Football Championship history, with 17 goal.
At club level, he was a member of the Tampines Rovers team which won Singapore's S.League in 2004 and 2005.Alam Shah is also well known for his barbaric volatile temper, which got him into trouble on a number of occasions. An incident of violent conduct when he knocked another player unconscious while playing for Tampines Rovers in the 2007 Singapore Cup final led to Alam Shah being given a 12-month ban from playing club-level football. The ban was later reduced to 7 months on appeal.
On 11 September 2009 he scored a hat-trick against Sengkang Punggol FC in his last match for Tampines Rovers before joining Arema Malang.
After stints with Sembawang Rangers and the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club, Alam Shah joined Tampines Rovers in 2003. He helped the Stags win the S.League title in 2004 and 2005.
Alam Shah's good form earned him trials with Notts County in England and Skonto Riga in Latvia. However neither trial led to a deal due to work permit issues and language problems respectively.
In 2007, he scored a late goal against Liaoning Guangyuan to become the 1st player to score 100 goals for the club. The tally came from 88 goals in the league and 12 goals in the domestic cup competitions.

He ended off his Tampines career with a hat-trick against the then Sengkang Punggol, including a twenty five-yard screamer in the last minute of regulation time.
Alam Shah joined Arema in 2009, citing poor attendances at S.League matches that led to poor motivation, and FAS's requirement of passing the fitness test before being allowed to play in a match. One of the reasons given for leaving S.League was that he felt he was given unfair treatment by referees.

On 15 March 2013, in the morning it was confirmed that Alam Shah training in Maguwoharjo International Stadium, PSS Sleman home base. He will join ex team mate's in Arema IPL such as Budi Sudarsono, Waluyo, Aji Saka, Juan Revi, and Wahyu Gunawan.
Alam Shah recently scored on his League debut with the Indonesian First Division club PSS Sleman on Sunday, 28 April 2013, the match ended 2:0 with Alam Shah scores in the 62nd minute to seal the winner of the team 2nd performance this season.
In a 2007 ASEAN Football Championship group stage match between Singapore and Laos, Alam Shah scored seven goals in an 11â€"0 win for Singapore. This seven-goal haul included a bicycle kick. This was the last bicycle kick to be scored at the old National Stadium. This wasn't only a record win for the Singapore national team, but also a record number of goals scored by an individual player in an 'A' international game for Singapore. Singapore went on to win the championship, and Alam Shah received the 'Most Valuable Player' award for his impressive displays in the tournament.
Alam Shah is also well remembered by Singapore fans for scoring a dramatic late equaliser against Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier in 2001, and for scoring in a 2â€"0 victory over Iraq during the 2006 Asian Cup qualifiers in 2006.
Alam Shah wore the captain's armband in an international friendly against China PR on 12 August 2009. Singapore drew 1â€"1 with China PR (losing 3â€"4 on penalties), with Alam Shah scoring in the 9th minute.
Noh Alam Shah's goals in 2010 came in two matches in the AFC Asian Cup 2011 qualification group stages. He scored in the 1â€"3 defeat to Iran at the National Stadium in Singapore and in the final group game against Jordan, which Singapore lost 1â€"2, at the King Abdullah Stadium in Amman.
Following the retirement of national skipper Indra Sahdan in 2010, Alam Shah's name has been going around as one of the favourites to take over Indra's reign as Singapore's captain, mainly due to his influential status within the Singapore camp, along with the passionate displays he has shown on international games.
However, he was later dropped from Raddy Avramovic's squad after disappointing performances at the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup.
In the 2007 Singapore Cup final between Tampines Rovers and SAFFC, Alam Shah was sent off in the final minutes of the games after an incident involving his fellow national teammate Daniel Bennett. Alam Shah kneed Bennett in the head during a tussle for the ball and, after being dragged away by his team-mates, he returned and kicked Bennett in the head. Bennett was knocked unconscious and had to be taken to hospital. Tampines lost the match 4â€"3. As a result of the incident, the Football Association of Singapore Disciplinary Committee, banned Alam Shah from playing in all FAS-sanctioned domestic matches and tournaments for 12 months and fined him S$2,000.
Initially, it was thought that the ban would not prevent Alam Shah from playing at club-level outside Singapore, and he made arrangements to join PDRM FA of the Super League Malaysia. However in January 2008, the Football Association of Malaysia confirmed that under FIFA rules, member associations are required to respect domestic bans imposed by other associations, and therefore Alam Shah would not be eligible to play club-level football in Malaysia until his ban was completed.
