Yang Shuiyi

Yang Shuiyi was a substitute for the South China Athletic Association (SCAA) in the 1932-33 season, but made his way to become the main right winger in the next year. He joined the Guangzhou Police and played together with China’s top footballers in the Guangzhou League. Yang Shuiyi was particularly famous for his corner and penalty kicks and represented Guangdong in two National Games in 1933 and 1935. He was selected for the team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics but did not play in the team’s only official match.

When Sing Tao SC was founded as another new club in 1940, recruiting several players from the SCAA, Yang also joined the club. When the Sing Tao team visited Sydney during a tour to Australia, he decided to stay and married the daughter of a local overseas Chinese. Yang inherited the family business, but also continued to play football in Australia.
