Noh Alam Shah

In the 70th minute, Alam Shah grabbed Yanuar and tried to wrestle him.

Yanuar then spun around and knocked Alam Shah down.

Both players were sent off.

While leaving the pitch, Alam Shah lunged at the Persela players and had to be restrained by teammates and stewards.

Arema won the match 2–1 and Alam Shah was subsequently banned for one match.

Mohd Noh Alam Shah (born 3 September 1980), known as Noh Alam Shah, is a former professional football player from Singapore who currently manages Tanjong Pagar United.

After stints with Sembawang Rangers and the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club (SAFFC), Alam Shah joined Tampines Rovers in 2003.

At club level, he was a player of the Tampines Rovers team which won Singapore's S.League in 2004 and 2005.

Noh Alam Shah is also well known for his volatile temper, which got him into trouble on a number of occasions.

He helped the Stags win the S.League title in 2004 and 2005.

Alam Shah's good form earned him trials with Notts County in England and Skonto Riga in Latvia.

However neither trial led to a deal due to work permit issues and language problems respectively.

Once regarded as one of the best forwards in South East Asia, Alam Shah was a member of the Singapore national football team when it won the AFF Championship in 2005 and 2007.

An incident of violent conduct when he knocked another player unconscious while playing for Tampines Rovers in the 2007 Singapore Cup final led to a 12-month ban from playing club-level football.

The ban was later reduced to 7 months on appeal.

In 2007, he scored a late goal against Liaoning Guangyuan to become the first player to score 100 goals for the club.

The tally came from 88 goals in the league and 12 goals in the domestic cup competitions.

In the 2007 Singapore Cup final between Tampines Rovers and SAFFC, Noh Alam Shah was sent off in the final minutes of the games after an incident involving his fellow national teammate Daniel Bennett.

Alam Shah kneed Bennett in the head during a tussle for the ball and, after being dragged away by his teammates, he returned and kicked Bennett in the head.

Bennett was knocked unconscious and had to be taken to hospital.

Tampines lost the match 4–3.

As a result of the incident, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) Disciplinary Committee, banned Alam Shah from playing in all FAS-sanctioned domestic matches and tournaments for 12 months and fined him S$2,000.

Initially, it was thought that the ban would not prevent Alam Shah from playing at club-level outside Singapore, and he made arrangements to join PDRM FA of the Malaysia Super League for the 2007 season.

However, in January 2008, the Football Association of Malaysia confirmed that under FIFA rules, member associations are required to respect domestic bans imposed by other associations, and therefore Alam Shah would not be eligible to play club-level football in Malaysia until his ban was completed.

On 29 April 2008, Alam Shah appealed successfully to reduce his ban from 12 months to 7 months by the FAS's Disciplinary Committee.

Alam Shah joined PDRM FA on loan upon completion of his ban in June 2008.

Alam Shah returned to Singapore to play for Tampines Rovers on 29 August 2008 in a S.League match against Gombak United.

He scored his first goal after his ban, against Balestier Khalsa, on 11 September 2008.

He ended off his Tampines career with a hat-trick against the then Sengkang Punggol, including a twenty five-yard screamer in the last minute of regulation time.

Alam Shah joined Arema in 2009, citing poor attendances at S.League matches that led to poor motivation, and FAS's requirement of passing the fitness test before being allowed to play in a match.

One of the reasons given for leaving S.League was that he felt he was given unfair treatment by referees.

Although his was ban was almost halved, he still missed out the remaining three games of Singapore's World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign.

On 11 May 2010, Alam Shah was sent off after an on-pitch incident with Persela Lamongan's defender, F.X. Yanuar Wahyu.

On 2 March 2011, Alam Shah scored a penalty for Arema against Japanese giants, Cerezo Osaka in a 2011 AFC Champions League group match, thus becoming the first Singaporean footballer to score in the competition for a non-Singapore club.

On 15 June 2011, Alam Shah was offended by a remark from his head coach, Miroslav Janů during a television interview before the match for Arema vs Persisam Putra Samarinda.

Alam Shah did not play in the match and after his team returned, he took a golf club and fought with Janů.

Assistant coach, Tony Ho and the team players restrained both of them.

Janů reasoned Alam Shah did not play in the last five games due to players from Singapore had never participated in the training, perhaps because Alam Shah had not received a salary.

On 5 February 2012, due to a salary dispute, Arema announced that the club had accepted Alam Shah's resignation.

Alam Shah retired from football in 2015 and assisted to manage the Singapore national football team from 2018 to 2020 before managing Tanjong Pagar United in 2020.
