Townsend Deeply Impressed by Thai Football Fans' Support

Andros Townsend, striker for Phang Nga FC, expressed his profound admiration for Thai football fans after moving to the 'Iron Horses' team. 'I've never experienced anything like this in England,' he said. 'I'm grateful to the fans, bench players, coaches, and staff.' Even after a crushing 0-8 defeat to T-Harbour, fans still applauded him as he left the field. 'I expected them to throw things or criticize my poor performance, but they were incredibly patient and understanding,' Townsend added. He noted that wherever he goes, fans shower him with coconuts, Thai snacks, drawings, photos, and printed gifts. 'I'm so impressed and don't know how to adequately thank them for this welcome.'
