Stimacked Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Anyone remember him. A couple of years back there was a rumour we were after him, Derby are reportedly interested in signing Persija Jakarta's forward Bambang Pamungkas http://www.eyefootball.com/news/4572/Derby-want-Indonesian-star?/ Think the whole thing was made up, but it has to go down as one of the best rumours of players linked with summer moves to Derby.

Albert Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 He mentioned the word Derby on his Blog once referring to the big derby match he was to play that weekend. From what I recall it seemed as they read the word Derby on there and not understanding any Indonesian just jumped to the conclusion he was coming to us. Not sure if that's true, it was a while ago.

Ambitious Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I remember it like it was yesterday! I wanted him to sign so badly because of his name, bambang pumungkas.. brilliant name! also didn't he have like a goal to game ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yeah... In indonesia! The two problems if it was a real link were always that: A) The Indonesian league is rubbish! Think lower League Two upper Conference level B) He's used to a completely different climate Though I have to give it to them that Indonesia sides are near impossible to beat in Indonesia. I remember watching Sydney FC against Persik Kidiri years back. Looks draining as hell! The pitch was like a damp sponge, it was 32°C+ (90°F+) and about 100% humidity. They postponed the match from the night before since the pitch was a foot under water the night before. Actually, this match: me7i3fn7TuU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This was in the months following relegation. There was never anything in it, just an interesting name. Don't think he would have done anything here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Translated as: 'The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.'

GboroRam Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Remember Przemyslaw Kazmierczak? That was a good name to have on a shirt! Shame he never took off. I learned how to pronounce his name, ready for the chanting "there's only one Przemyslaw Kazmierczak". That was a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
