With the World Cup approaching, I thought I’d share a topical story about an underwhelming England performance: In May 1958 England were preparing for the tournament with a friendly against Portugal. Beware, warned Roy Peskett in the Daily Mail, of Augusto Rocha, ‘o Pequeno Tigre’ from Macao
We did it!!! Frank Soo receiving his Honorary Cap at Wembley, 80 years to the month he last played for England, again against Wales. The Soo family and everyone at the Frank Soo Foundation are extremely proud today.
The Frank Soo Foundation and @kickitoutofficial.bsky.social have launched a new reporting relationship to tackle discrimination against East and South East Asian communities in football. Report here: www.kickitout.org/report?The_F...
There are more than 50 players from ESEA heritage playing in the Men’s and Women’s professional game in England*. Home grown players and from abroad! Here is just a selection. #ESEAHM25 *Top 4 tiers in men’s and top 2 in women’s football.

I don't need approval or elikes, but this has been troubling recently & based on what I've learned from @fsoofoundation.bsky.social & the ESEA community in England, racism especially towards ESEA is largely ignored. Not afraid to call out on United fans too, it's disgraceful & won't go about Foden
Visited the International Bomber Command Centre on holiday. Really interesting and poignant. Managed to find Ronald Soo, brother of England's Frank Soo, on the memorial panels. KIA in 1944, age 23. @fsoofoundation.bsky.social

What an evening! Celebrating Lunar New Year at @watfordfc.bsky.social ! Thank you to Ivy on the Guzheng and to Harrow Chinese School Dance Group for performing. It was a wonderful experience!
@kickitoutofficial.bsky.social and The Frank Soo Foundation’s joint statement. We await the written verdict from the FA with great interest as we will be able to see on what grounds Tottenham have appealed.
It was great to be at TNS vs Djurgården IF tonight at their UEFA Conference League match. Frank managed Djurgarden IF in the 1954/55 season where they won their first Allsvenskan title. Frank Soo England pioneer, Djurgarden pioneer. #FrankSooEngland06 #NFMHoF #Järnkaminerna
