| Former Chelsea captain Dennis Wise in town to promote EPL Malaysia Cup Posted: 08 Apr 2013 04:40 AM PDT IT TOOK more than two decades for former English midfielder Dennis Wise to revisit Malaysia. Recently, the 46-year-old was in town to promote the upcoming fifth Standard Chartered EPL Football Malaysia Cup scheduled at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil on April 21. Leading up to the six-a-side indoor meet, the former Chelsea captain teamed up with former Liverpool great Dietmar Hamann of Germany to introduce the notable names forming the Liverpool Legends, Manchester United Legends and EPL All Stars. Wise, who took charge as manager at several clubs including Leeds and Millwall after his playing career, said he was thrilled to be part of the EPL All Stars line-up and rated the duo of Frank Leboeuf and Tore Andre Flo as key players in the team. "I am happy with the selection of players in my team. I have stayed in shape and others in the team are also up to the challenge. We have a good chance of doing well. We want to put up impressive displays for the fans," he added. Among the players in the EPL All Stars are Stephane Henchoz, Sasha Ilic, Michael Mols, Michael Thomas, Savo Milosevic and Phil Babb. Besides acknowledging former Dutch striker Mols' lethal strikes in making opportunities count, Hamann jested that former Liverpool and Swiss defender Henchoz should be featuring for defending champions Liverpool instead of EPL All Stars. "We (Liverpool) have a good side. We are hopeful of retaining the title going up against our contemporaries and strong opponents in the other teams," he added. Liverpool will have the services of David James, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Jason McAteer, Steve Harkness, Dominic Matteo, Bjorn Tore Kvarme and Rob Jones. Manchester United will rely on Andy Cole, Lee Sharpe, Ronnie Johnson, Clayton Blackmore, Carl Muggleton, Paul Parker, David Johnson and Lee Martin for the campaign. Meanwhile, Zainal Abidin Hassan is expected to lead the Malaysian Legends. |

An Easter egg hunt saw children scrambling around the outlet while an Easter Bunny went around giving candies and hugs to every child. To add to the Easter atmosphere, the service staff wore bunny ears, bob tails and cute bow ties. The children also enjoyed a game of Musical Chairs, which got them grooving to the music while a live-sized 'Snake and Ladder' game saw them becoming their own 'game piece', moving up or down every time they threw the dice. The activity that got the whole family working as a team was the Easter Egg Hunt which had the teams searching around the outlet for hidden Easter Eggs. |
