Although his given name is Sadiy, it is often mistaken for Saidy or more frequently Said , which would become his default name in publications during his playing years.

National career

Said began playing for the Wasps in 1993 under English coach Mick Lyons. [3] Perennial minnows at first (Brunei finished in last place in the inaugural 1994 Liga Perdana), Brunei improved on their league finish towards the end of the century, finishing an all-time high of third place in 1998.

Said was part of the Brunei squad in 1999 to win the Malaysia Cup. [4] It was to be his final year with the M-League team as he immediately retired from the team along with six other players. [5]

International career

Said regularly played for the Brunei national football team at the Southeast Asian Games of the nineties, scoring six (known) goals. He scored twice in two defeats at the group stage of the 17th SEA Games held in Singapore in 1993, against Laos [6] and Malaysia. [7] In the 18th edition of the SEA Games, he scored the second goal for Brunei in a 2-2 draw against Singapore. Two years later in Indonesia, Said scored Brunei's solitary goal of the 19th SEA Games against Myanmar in a 1-6 defeat. [8]

When Brunei hosted the SEA Games in 1999, Said scored twice in Brunei's opening group stage match against Cambodia in a 3-3 draw. The point gained at the Berakas Sports Complex would ultimately be Brunei's only one for the tournament. [9]

Sadiy was a surprise inclusion for Brunei's 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign in early 2001, two years after his retirement from the national team. [10] He played in all six games where Brunei remained winless and goalless, suffering a record 0-12 loss at the hands of the United Arab Emirates. [11] Brunei would not play another World Cup qualifier until 2015. [12]
