Lam Sheung Yee

Football pundit Spencer Lam Sheung-yee, who began a career as a professional footballer almost 60 years ago and then won fame as a commentator renowned for his dry wit, died yesterday at the age of 74.

Known while a player as "Heavy Cannon" because of his powerful shots and later as "Ah Suk", or Uncle, Lam was found unconscious on the floor of the toilet of his flat in Kings Road, Tin Hau, when his 50-year-old son visited him yesterday morning.

The ex-footballer, who also appeared in many films, was taken to Ruttonjee Hospital, where doctors declared him dead at 11.58am. Police said Lam had an illness and they had found nothing suspicious.

Born in 1934, Lam began his professional career as a striker for Eastern in the local First Division League. Then just 16, he was one of the youngest players in the league's history.

In 1958, he represented China at the Asian Games in Tokyo, where the team won gold after beating South Korea. Two years later, he represented Taiwan again as a midfielder at the Rome Olympics. Afterwards, he won many top honours with Rangers, including the double championship titles, the League Cup and Senior Shield in 1972. He hung up his boots in 1977.

Lam also studied economics at Chinese University and worked as a teacher while playing football professionally. His connection with the football world did not end with his retirement, as he embarked on a career as a commentator with RTHK. He then worked for Commercial Radio and ATV before joining TVB in 1991.

He is remembered for his extensive knowledge of football, his distinctive and sometimes harsh comments, and the creation of many catchphrases and nicknames for football stars still widely used.
