Tan Sio Beng is a Singaporean former footballer who played as a defender for NFL Division 2 side Admiralty FC and the Singapore national football team.

Club career

[edit]

Tan's performances during training for Balestier Khalsa led to his debut in 1999 after he impressed Tigers coach PN Sivaji.[1]

Tan has turned out for S.League sides Balestier Khalsa,[2] Sengkang Marine[3] and Tanjong Pagar United[4] as well as two stints with Singapore Cricket Club[5] in the NFL Division 1 before making the switch to Admiralty FC in 2012. He spent five seasons at Balestier Khalsa and four seasons at Sengkang Punggol.

Tan had an on-pitch fight with Gusta Guzarishah during a match between Balestier Khalsa and Home United in 1999.[6]

Tan was sent off while playing for Balestier Khalsa in 2005 for violent conduct [7] after Home United skipper Aide Iskandar's challenge on Balestier's keeper, Rizal Rahman, sparked a fight. Balestier subsequently lodged an appeal against the red card but the appeal was rejected.[8]

In 2007, Tan was punished by Sengkang Punggol after his side's 4-3 win over Phnom Penh Empire in a Singapore Cup first-round match for shouting obscenities at his coach, Jörg Steinebruner[9] after he was reprimanded for his poor performance on the pitch that day.[10]

International career

[edit]

Tan was included in the 2002 Tiger Cup squad after his convincing displays in the S.League for Balestier Khalsa.

He has played a total of 7 times for Singapore and scored 1 goal at international level.

Coaching career

[edit]

Following the departure of former player coach Mohd Noor Ali to Geylang United in June 2012, Tan was also appointed as the assistant coach of the Wolves.[11]

Tan was also the coach for Nanyang Junior College's soccer team.[12][13]
