Ultras Malaya | Harimau Malaya | Malaysia | Football World
Football fans describe themselves as the 'twelfth man' - as essential to the success of the team as the players and coaching staff. It is the actions performed by fans during the game - the ritual chants, songs, banner waving, etc. - that motivates the team, intimidates the opposition players and perhaps even influences referees' decisions. The fans truly believe they must attend the game to 'help the team to win,' not just to observe the event.
