He became the first local player to reach a milestone 100 domestic goals in Home United's 4–0 win over [[Balestier Khalsa]] on 21 June 2003<ref>{{cite news| title=A shirt worth 100 goals| newspaper=Today| page=53| date=26 July 2003}}</ref><ref name=milestone group=nb /> Despite reported interest from [[Sheffield Wednesday]] and [[Ipswich Town]] in August 2003, a move to England did not materialise.<ref name=wed>{{cite news| author=Stanley Ho| title=Indra for Sheffield Wednesday?| newspaper=Today| page=74| date=9 August 2003}}</ref> However, he tasted success with Home United achieving a S.League and Singapore Cup double that year. Along with teammate [[Sutee Suksomkit]], he was sent for a 2-week training stint with [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]'s reserve team in December 2003 as part of a deal with club sponsor [[Emirates Airline]].<ref>{{cite news| author=Ray Chen| title=Training at Chelsea similar to Darby's regime at Home: Indra| newspaper=Today| page=60| date=16 December 2003}}</ref>

On 11 July 2007, it was reported in a local tabloid that Sahdan had been offered trials from [[Melbourne Victory]] and [[Real Salt Lake]]<ref>[http://www.todayonline.com/articles/199354.asp]</ref> but after weeks of speculation, nothing came out of it.


He damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during international duty in May 2006 that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite news| author=Jose Raymond| title=Indra out for season| newspaper=Today| page=46| date=3 June 2006}}</ref>
In 2008, Sahdan was having problems scoring for [[Home United]] with just 10 goals in the league all season. After the [[AFF Suzuki Cup]], Indra's contract with [[Home United]] expires.

Sahdan underwent a successful trial with the American [[Major League Soccer|MLS]] club [[Real Salt Lake]] in Miami, Florida from 14 to 24 Feb 2008; scoring two goals in four starts. The Home United striker is then invited to join Real Salt Lake on their two weeks pre-season tour to [[Rosario]], [[Argentina]], beginning on 1 March, for three exhibition matches. This invitation comes in view of the MLS side offering Indra a contract for the upcoming season, however Ingra suffered with a knee injury in Argentina, which proved costly.

Indra was signed by [[Singapore Armed Forces FC|Singapore Armed Forces]] in 2010.

===Back to the Protectors===
==International career==
After he was released by Singapore Armed Forces at the end of 2011, Indra signed with National Football League amateur side Keppel Monaco for the 2012 season. Home United head coach [[Lee Lim-Saeng]] was however, soon convinced by his pre-season performances and "his intelligence on and off the ball" to sign him for a second spell with the Protectors in February 2012.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.tnp.sg/content/indras-back-home| title=Indra's back Home| newspaper=The New Paper| date=23 February 2012| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413130035/http://www.tnp.sg/content/indras-back-home| archive-date=13 April 2014}}</ref> Due to his advanced years and loss of pace, he was deployed as a second striker and in midfield.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/sleague/news/detail/item1007845/| title=Lee backs Indra to continue good Home form| website=FoxSportsAsia.com| access-date=11 April 2014| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413124719/http://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/sleague/news/detail/item1007845/| archive-date=13 April 2014}}</ref> He retired at the end of the [[2014 S.League|2014 season]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Singapore football: A total reboot to kick-start fortunes?|url=http://news.asiaone.com/news/sports/singapore-football-total-reboot-kick-start-fortunes|access-date=20 December 2014|work=[[The Straits Times]]|date=16 December 2014|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055942/http://news.asiaone.com/news/sports/singapore-football-total-reboot-kick-start-fortunes|url-status=dead}}</ref>
He made his debut for the [[Singapore national football team|Singapore]] against [[Kuwait]] on 26 April 1997.


===Tampines Rovers===
Singapore's most consistent goalscorer since the retirement of Fandi Ahmad in the mid-1990s, Sahdan is a firm fan favourite for his knack of finding the net in big games.
On 15 February 2015, Indra came out of retirement and joined [[Tampines Rovers]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://voxsports.co/indras-a-stag-after-retirement-reversal/ |title=Indra's a Stag after retirement reversal – VOXSPORTS |access-date=2015-03-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150309083136/http://voxsports.co/indras-a-stag-after-retirement-reversal/ |archive-date=9 March 2015 }}</ref> On 17 April, Indra scored his first goal for the stags in a 2-3 loss to former club [[Warriors FC]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://sleague.com/match-report/s-league/2015/april/2015-04-17/tampines-rovers-fc/| title=Fazrul Inspires Warriors To Victorious Comeback| publisher=S.League| date=17 April 2015| url-status=usurped| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418100754/http://sleague.com/match-report/s-league/2015/april/2015-04-17/tampines-rovers-fc/| archive-date=18 April 2015}}</ref>


=== Geylang International ===
Considered one of Singapore's best [[striker (football)|strikers]], albeit one of the best in Southeast Asia, Indra was part of the squad that won the [[Tiger Cup]] for Singapore in 2005 and 2007.
After leaving [[Tampines Rovers]], Indra rejoined [[Geylang International]] for the 2016 season.


== International career ==
He scored the crucial goal in the home leg of the Asean Football Federation Championship, which Singapore ended up winning for their first title since 1998.
[[File:Indrasahdandaud2.jpg|thumb|Indra Sahdan captaining the Singapore national team.]]


Indra made his debut for the [[Singapore national football team|Singapore national team]] in a World Cup qualifier against [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]] on 26 April 1997.<ref>{{cite news| author=Tay Cheng Khoon| title=Barry's boys put up lion-hearted performance against Asian giant| newspaper=The Straits Times| page=44| date=27 April 1997}}</ref>
During 2001 in [[Singapore]], as part of [[Manchester United]]'s pre-season Far East Asia tour, Sahdan was the scorer of Singapore XI's only goal in their 1–8 defeat to United at the [[Singapore National Stadium]].


Considered one of the best [[striker (football)|strikers]] to play for Singapore over the last decade,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.goal.com/en-sg/slideshow/3717/3/title/top-5-players-in-the-canon-lion-city-cup?ICID=OP| title=Top 5 players in the Canon Lion City Cup| publisher=Goal| access-date=10 April 2014}}</ref> Indra has a knack for finding the net in big games, scoring goals against higher-ranked nations like [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] and [[Japan national football team|Japan]].<ref name=jpn04 />
He has notched goals against the likes of Uruguay and Manchester United, but perhaps his most memorable was against Japan in 2004.


Indra was part of the Singapore squad for the [[2004 AFF Championship]]. Despite failing to strike up a partnership with [[Agu Casmir]], he ended up scoring the opener in the home leg of the [[2004 AFF Championship]] as Singapore won the tournament. It was their second ASEAN title after 1998, in which Indra missed after he was dropped from the national squad for skipping training.<ref name=fourth>{{cite web| url=http://www.fas.org.sg/news/fourth-time-lucky-indra| title=Fourth time lucky for Indra| publisher=FAS| access-date=11 April 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924011842/http://www.fas.org.sg/news/fourth-time-lucky-indra| archive-date=24 September 2015| url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| title=Indra says thanks for wake-up call| newspaper=The Straits Times| page=32| date=23 December 1998}}</ref>
A swivel, burst of pace and devastatingly accurate shot gave Singapore an equaliser in that World Cup qualifier, and sent the home fans at the Jalan Besar Stadium into delirium, despite the fact that the Lions eventually lost 2–1.


While playing for the national team against [[Malaysia national football team|Malaysia]] in May 2006, Indra suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the rest of the league season. He made his return to the national team for the [[2006 King's Cup]] in December and the [[2007 AFF Championship]] in early 2007.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.fas.org.sg/news/squad-25-called-kings-cup-and-asean-football-championship| title=Squad of 25 called up for King's Cup and Asean Football Championship| publisher=FAS| access-date=11 April 2014| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924032502/http://www.fas.org.sg/news/squad-25-called-kings-cup-and-asean-football-championship| archive-date=24 September 2015| url-status=dead}}</ref> The Lions won their second consecutive ASEAN title.
For all his goalscoring exploits including top scorer at the 2001 SEA Games, Indra has yet to impose himself on the Tiger Cup after forgettable campaigns in 2000 and 2002.


With national team captain, [[Aide Iskandar]] dropped from the national side for the friendly against [[UAE national football team|UAE]], Indra took over the armband and led the side to a 1–1 draw. Just hours before the kick off of the 2010 World Cup 2010 qualifier against [[Tajikistan national football team|Tajikistan]] on 9 November 2007, Aide Iskandar sensationally retired from international football. Indra was appointed the new captain.<ref>{{cite news| author=Wang Meng Meng| title=New Lion King| newspaper=The Straits Times| page=38|date=13 November 2007}}</ref>
While playing for the [[Singapore national football team]] against [[Malaysia national football team|Malaysia]] in May 2006, Sahdan suffered a knee injuries which sidelined him for the rest of the year. His comeback came in the King's Cup in December 2006 in [[Thailand]] when he put on commendable performances.


Indra is an inductee of the [[List of men's footballers with 100 or more international caps|FIFA Century Club]].<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/stats-centclub/52/00/59/centuryclub1204.13.pdf| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521035635/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/stats-centclub/52/00/59/centuryclub1204.13.pdf| url-status=dead| archive-date=21 May 2013| title=FIFA Century Club fact sheet| publisher=FIFA| date=12 April 2013}}</ref>
With national team captain, [[Aide Iskandar]] dropped from the national side for the friendly against [[UAE]], Sahdan took over the armband and led the side to a credible 1–1 draw. Sahdan is also vice captain for his club, Home United.


Following the appointment of [[Bernd Stange]] as national head coach, Indra was recalled to the national team after a three-year absence following his apparent international retirement in 2010 to face [[Myanmar national football team|Myanmar]] in an away friendly on 4 June 2013. He started the match as captain, earning his 110th cap as the team won 2–0.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.fas.org.sg/news/singapore-football-gets-boost-2-0-win-over-myanmar-0| title=Singapore football gets boost with 2-0 win over Myanmar| publisher=FAS| access-date=10 April 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924032302/http://www.fas.org.sg/news/singapore-football-gets-boost-2-0-win-over-myanmar-0| archive-date=24 September 2015| url-status=dead}}</ref> Three days later, he scored his 31st international goal in a 5–2 win over [[Laos national football team|Laos]]. His return to the national team was cut short four matches in when he suffered a leg break against [[Hong Kong national football team|Hong Kong]] on 10 September 2013.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/3880/singapore/2013/09/11/4253793/indra-sahdan-suffers-broken-leg| title=Indra Sahdan suffers broken leg| publisher=Goal| access-date=10 April 2014}}</ref>
On 9 November 2007, just hours before the kick off of the [[World Cup 2010]] qualifiers against [[Tajikistan national football team|Tajikistan]], then-captain of the national team, [[Aide Iskandar]] sensationally retired from international football, and handed down the skipper's armband to Sahdan.


== Personal life ==
Although he is on a scoring streak for his club in the [[S-League]], Indra is on a goal-scoring drought in the international stage. Since the Last edition of the [[AFF ASEAN Football Championship]] in January 2007 till the [[2008 AFF Suzuki Cup]], Sahdan has only scored three goals against [[Indonesia]], [[DPR Korea]] and [[Cambodia]] respectively.


Indra was born to father Daud Bidin, a technician and mother Sabariah Hambali, a nurse.<ref name=fin>{{cite news| author=Wang Meng Meng| title=I am not finished yet| newspaper=The Straits Times| page=39| date=15 February 2009}}</ref>
==Club==
Sahdan made his debut for Sengkang Punggol in a 2–2 draw against Super Reds. He has now played 22 games for Sengkang Punggol and scored 11 goals. He got sent off for the first time in his career after he elbowed an Albirex Niigata player only 10 minutes into the game. That game was eventually won by Albirex Niigata 2–1.

Indra Sahdan bin Daud (born 5 March 1979) is a former Singapore international footballer who played as a forward. He previously played for S.League clubs Geylang United, Home United, Sengkang Punggol and Singapore Armed Forces. He is known for his knack for scoring goals in big matches as well as being a pacy player in his earlier years.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Youth career

[edit]

Indra rose to prominence when he captained Singapore in winning the 1995 Lion City Cup.[4] His breakthrough performances led him to be labelled the "next Fandi Ahmad".[1][5]

Home United

[edit]

He debuted as a 16-year-old with Police FC (later renamed Home United) in the inaugural S.League where he was used as a back-up player.[6] Indra subsequently decided to move to Geylang United in 1997, spending four seasons with the 1996 champions.[7][8]

Indra signed a five-year contract with Home United from the 2001 season.[9] Along with his football commitments with Home United, Indra signed on with the Singapore Police Force as a police officer. He struck up a prolific partnership with Egmar Goncalves as Home United won one S.League title and three Singapore Cups. Recognition of his potential came as he won the S.League Young Player of the Year award in 2000 and 2001. He demonstrated his knack for scoring against top teams such as Uruguay, Japan, Denmark and Manchester United. During Manchester United's pre-season Far East tour in 2001, he scored Team Singapore's only goal in their 1–8 defeat at the National Stadium on 24 July.[10]

He became the first local player to reach a milestone 100 domestic goals in Home United's 4–0 win over Balestier Khalsa on 21 June 2003[11][nb 1] Despite reported interest from Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town in August 2003, a move to England did not materialise.[3] However, he tasted success with Home United achieving a S.League and Singapore Cup double that year. Along with teammate Sutee Suksomkit, he was sent for a 2-week training stint with Chelsea's reserve team in December 2003 as part of a deal with club sponsor Emirates Airline.[12]

In 2005, Indra rejected an offer of US$5,000 (S$8,520) per month from Malaysia Super League club Perak, choosing to extend his contract with Home United til the end of the 2008 season. With the new deal, he became Singapore highest-paid local player with an annual wage in excess of S$100,000.[13][14] He also renewed his contract with the Police Force for another five years.

He damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during international duty in May 2006 that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[15]

Trial with Real Salt Lake

[edit]

Indra underwent a trial with the American MLS club Real Salt Lake in Miami, Florida from 14 to 24 Feb 2008. He scored two goals in four starts. The Home United striker was then invited to join Real Salt Lake on their two weeks pre-season tour to Rosario, Argentina, beginning on 1 March, for three exhibition matches.[16] Prior to the trip to Argentina Indra's friend, Dave Roberts, who helped arrange the trial was quoted to describe his chances of getting the contract as "very good", after his conversation with the club's general manager, Garth Lagerway. However Indra suffered a knee injury in Argentina and was not offered a contract by coach Jason Kreis.[17] Had the transfer gone through, he would have become Singapore's only third footballer to be playing professionally outside of Asia, following Fandi Ahmad and V. Sundramoorthy.

Sengkang Punggol

[edit]

In 2008, Indra was having problems scoring for Home United with just 10 goals in the league all season. After the 2008 AFF Championship, Indra's contract with Home United expired at the end of 2008. He went for trials with two V.League clubs and one First Division club.[18] He rejected a contract offer from Vietnamese club Hoa Phat, citing issues with the accommodation and food.[19] He returned to Singapore but was left in limbo as Home United had signed his replacement, and that he would have to resign from the Singapore Police Force if he was to join another S.League club.[20] He eventually quit his police job and joined Sengkang Punggol for the 2009 season.[21][22] Indra was temporarily handed the armband as regular captain Aide Iskandar was promoted to caretaker coach. He made his debut for Sengkang Punggol in a 2–2 draw against Super Reds. He suffered his first career dismissal after he elbowed an Albirex Niigata (S) player only 10 minutes into the game. Albirex Niigata eventually won 2–1.

SAFFC

[edit]

Indra was signed by Singapore Armed Forces in 2010. He reached a milestone 200 domestic goals in March 2011 with two goals in the club's 5–0 win over Woodlands Wellington.[23][nb 1]

Back to the Protectors

[edit]

After he was released by Singapore Armed Forces at the end of 2011, Indra signed with National Football League amateur side Keppel Monaco for the 2012 season. Home United head coach Lee Lim-Saeng was however, soon convinced by his pre-season performances and "his intelligence on and off the ball" to sign him for a second spell with the Protectors in February 2012.[24] Due to his advanced years and loss of pace, he was deployed as a second striker and in midfield.[25] He retired at the end of the 2014 season.[26]

Tampines Rovers

[edit]

On 15 February 2015, Indra came out of retirement and joined Tampines Rovers.[27] On 17 April, Indra scored his first goal for the stags in a 2-3 loss to former club Warriors FC.[28]

Geylang International

[edit]

After leaving Tampines Rovers, Indra rejoined Geylang International for the 2016 season.

International career

[edit]
Indra Sahdan captaining the Singapore national team.

Indra made his debut for the Singapore national team in a World Cup qualifier against Kuwait on 26 April 1997.[29]

Considered one of the best strikers to play for Singapore over the last decade,[30] Indra has a knack for finding the net in big games, scoring goals against higher-ranked nations like Uruguay and Japan.[31]

Indra was part of the Singapore squad for the 2004 AFF Championship. Despite failing to strike up a partnership with Agu Casmir, he ended up scoring the opener in the home leg of the 2004 AFF Championship as Singapore won the tournament. It was their second ASEAN title after 1998, in which Indra missed after he was dropped from the national squad for skipping training.[32][33]

While playing for the national team against Malaysia in May 2006, Indra suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the rest of the league season. He made his return to the national team for the 2006 King's Cup in December and the 2007 AFF Championship in early 2007.[34] The Lions won their second consecutive ASEAN title.

With national team captain, Aide Iskandar dropped from the national side for the friendly against UAE, Indra took over the armband and led the side to a 1–1 draw. Just hours before the kick off of the 2010 World Cup 2010 qualifier against Tajikistan on 9 November 2007, Aide Iskandar sensationally retired from international football. Indra was appointed the new captain.[35]

Indra is an inductee of the FIFA Century Club.[36]

Following the appointment of Bernd Stange as national head coach, Indra was recalled to the national team after a three-year absence following his apparent international retirement in 2010 to face Myanmar in an away friendly on 4 June 2013. He started the match as captain, earning his 110th cap as the team won 2–0.[37] Three days later, he scored his 31st international goal in a 5–2 win over Laos. His return to the national team was cut short four matches in when he suffered a leg break against Hong Kong on 10 September 2013.[38]

Personal life

[edit]

Indra was born to father Daud Bidin, a technician and mother Sabariah Hambali, a nurse.[4]

He was married to Nur Elfa Aishah. They divorced after eight years of marriage. Daughter, Elsa and son, Ilyas Shakeil were from his previous marriage.

Indra studied at St Andrew's School, St. Gabriel's Secondary School and ITE (Ang Mo Kio).[39]

He was the face of Nike (Singapore) together with other national team players like Khairul Amri and Hariss Harun as part of Nike's advertising campaigns such as the 2007 AFF Championship.[40]
