Luke O'Nien is a midfielder for League 2 side, Wycombe Wanderers.

Sounds familiar?

He was in the team that played Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspurs, where they lost narrowly (3-4) in a thrilling FA cup tie last night.

O'Nien is perhaps most famous for his insane juggling prowess.

Here he is juggling a tennis ball 1,000 times.

And he wants to represent Singapore one day.

Why?

The million dollar question is of course, why would he want to represent Singapore?

Is it perhaps because of our world class facilities, and "sports hub" status?

Maybe, but the more pertinent reason appears to be his connection to his grandfather.

In an interview with British publication, The Guardian, on Jan. 26, he discussed his plans for the future.

O'Nien revealed his plans to one day play in the Premier League, or even countries such as France, and Spain.

He also reiterated his long held plan of representing his maternal Grandfather's country, Singapore.

Cool.
