Appreciating longtime SCC Member Jurgen Martiens This February, we bid farewell to one of the icons of SCC - Jurgen Martens - who returns home to Hamburg with his wife Ilona Over 50 years ago, Jurgen arrived in Singapore, immediately identified the best sporting club and joined the SCC on 11 March 1971. Over the years, he has been elected to different General Committees and chaired Subcommittees, sat in different Subcommittees as a Subcommittee member, helped in the Club’s international Tournaments - Hockey6s and Soccer7s, played football, and been an integral part of the Club. In 2004, Jurgen was conferred the status of Life Member in recognition of his contributions to the Club; in 2010, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award. In appreciation of Jurgen and all he has done for the Club, SCC President Zoher Motiwalla presented him with a SCC Silver Tankard before he left Singapore. On behalf of the Football Section, Convenor Amos Boon presented Jurgen a parting gift: a Section jersey with the squad number 51, which represents the number of years he has been part of the Club. The Football Section said, “Jurgen has represented the Section and worn many hats - as a player, committee member, advisor and role model. Jurgen loved football and the SCC. His dedication and passion to see a successful Section is evident til this day. Jurgen, we thank you for all that you’ve done for the Section and we wish you andyour wife safe travels and we hope to see you back soon.”
