Goodbye, Subramaniam Gopal!

Subramaniam Gopal

It has been a week since I received the dreaded calls from my friends. They said that my best friend of 30 years have passed away. I was still asleep when the calls and messages came in at 7.30am, and I had only couple of hours sleep prior to the calls. Well, who sleeps early on weekends anyway?

His real name is Subramaniam a/l Gopal, but we fondly called him ‘Anggam’. I don’t really know the origin of that name but I think the name stuck since early of our secondary school days.

Anggam is also the person responsible for introducing me to Liverpool FC. He gave me an authentic Liverpool jersey (the ‘Candy’ jersey) way back in 88-89.

He left behind his wife and two daughters.

Thanks Anggam for all the memories (all 30 years of ’em!). Rest in peace, my brother. Sorry for not spending enough time with you all these while. I will miss you…
