What is the big moment in the clubs history?: We have a rich history of winning trophies, we have won trophies at every level this club has played at. The biggest moment was most probably in 2016 when the club won the UK Asian Championship winning the final 6-0 at Celtic Park. Locally the biggest cup we won was the Slough Town Senior Cup in 2018 after defeating Langley.
Who would you say has been your best ever player and why?: Many great players have donned the Singh Sabha jersey over the past 40 years but the one that stands out and took the club to the next level was Damian Markman, a very talented football who made goalscoring look easy, scored goals for fun top professional a huge character in the dressing room and someone who had played the game a higher level. We have huge number of players playing now who have contributed in recent success for the club and I am sure they will be fighting for the mantle to be the ever best player for this club.
