And they've amassed more than 10 team kits throughout their time playing social football.
This week, meet Fairways FC.
No, they don't exactly have the luxury of playing on well-cut grass, typical of the fairways on a golf course.
In fact, it's quite the opposite.
Originally called Unknowns FC, the team was the brainchild of Mohammad Kassim, 48, a hawker.
Comprised initially of family members and close friends, the team slowly roped in neighbours to join their footie-crazed team.
'There were only four of us in the beginning. We all lived in the same kampung in Tanjong Pagar,' Kassim explained.
That was in January of 1975, when he was still a young lad in secondary school.
Certainly, the veteran player, who is now Fairways FC's current coach, still harbours fond memories of the old days.
RAIN OR SHINE
'We would play every single day, rain or shine, on open grass patches, near the drain in the kampung after school,' he recalled with a laugh.
'There was never a boring moment because we all loved football so much and even when it rained, we still continued to play next to the longkang (drain).'
Gradually, the numbers began to grow and in 1980, the head-count reached 20, with players coming to join them on weekends.
That's a rather ironic feat for a team who were then recognised as Unknowns FC.
'I remember how we were trying to come up with a name, and no matter how hard we thought about it, we could not come up with an interesting one to call ourselves.' Kassim said.
'Although we were the unknowns, we were quite popular in the kampung.'
Indeed, according to another player, Maidin Shah, 44, a project manager, football was in their blood from day one.
'We were always taking part in tournaments and winning seven-a-side matches which were very popular in the 1970s,' he said.
'It's very nice to grow up with a team that's made up of your closest siblings and cousins. You know you can look out for one another and there's a bond that cannot be broken.'
And Maidin does note a stark difference in the social football scene here as compared to 20 years ago.
'There used to be more large spaces for playing football back then. Now, many teams occupy bare fields on weekends and we have to book pitches in advance or search high and low for one. It has become quite difficult,' he explained.
And such is the case with Fairways FC, whose players decided that a name change would fittingly commemorate their 20th anniversary in 1995.
Today, the team is largely made up of youngsters and 'second generation' players - sons and nephews of the original team
DIRTY TRICKS
Mohammad Abdullah, 29, an operations manager, who has been with the team since 1995, said: 'Our older generation of players were 'fair in their ways' when they played and there were no dirty tricks or fouls. So we decided it would be good to instill the same fair-play attitude on the younger generation.'
Fairways FC's players range between the ages of 20 and 29, and the team does not have a regular home ground.
They frequently meet on Saturday afternoons for friendly football sessions or to train among themselves.
The veterans do not play in the first team and now double up as coaches or team managers. Others still take part in simple kick-abouts with the youngsters.
Said Mohammad Ismail, 21, a student: 'Playing with the veteran players definitely helps me with my game as they're skilful.'
And surely, he can count on Unknowns FC's experience to take him to the next stage.
