Wesley Lim explained that he started watching when he played for Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, at the time, he never had a chance to meet the former Celtic FC star due to the high profile of the clubs, and he was not well-known.

“I followed Wanyama when he was at Southampton and Spurs, but your chances of meeting a player at these clubs are closer to zero,” Lim shared.

Wesley Lim came across a post from on Facebook that said that Neil Lennon and Victor Wanyama had joined the club.

The fan pointed out that when he met Victor Wanyama, it was a great opportunity, and he could not let go of the rare chance.

“When I met him, I don’t really know how to explain it, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How many times do you get to meet someone you’ve seen on TV for ten years?” he said.

“Standing next to him was like ‘wow, he’s huge.’ His athleticism and tenacity as a defensive midfielder are something that’s really hard to find.»

Wesley Lim first learnt about at the 2004 Scottish Cup final. The final of the match was played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, where Celtic won 3–1.

“When I was ten, I watched the Scottish League Cup Final against Celtic. That was the first time I ever heard of Dunfermline,” he said.

“It aired on free television in Singapore, so I knew of the team since then. I started to really follow them in the past few weeks, and I’ve been looking forward to my trip here.”
