But he was not there for the action on the pitch. He was looking out for the likes of match fixers and runners.
His interest - those sitting away from the masses, like the duo at the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup match on Nov 28 last year.
One of them had taken off his white T-shirt and put on a yellow one during the second-half of the match, shortly before the home team scored.
