Hassan Sunny, (born April 2, 1984 in Singapore) is a Singaporean footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for S.League side, Tampines Rovers FC.

[edit] Football career

According to an interview with him done in November 2007, he only started playing football competitively when he was 10, captaining his school, May Primary School. He later went on to represent Braddel Secondary School's football team as well.

Hassan started out in football as a midfielder, only switching to between the sticks due to an asthma attack he suffered when he was 12. He also quipped that his happiest football memory was that, back in 1999, he scored the winning goal from the halfway line in a game that ended 2-1. ^[1]

Hassan has been a regular fixture in the national team, though only as a substitute for [[Lionel Lewis] . However, due to his poor performances in the Merdeka Cup in 2007 with the Under-23 team, he was dropped for the friendly against UAE and Jasper Chan was called up in his place.

Hassan's fine display at the 2007 SEA Games helped the Singapore Under-23 squad win the bronze medal - their first SEA Games medal since 1995.

In December 2007, Hassan joined Tampines Rovers FC, after four years of service as Geylang United FC's No.1.
