Summary:[Kwan] was for many years a stalwart of the Selangor Malaya Cup team. The trio of Mohd Ismail, A.L. Henry and Kwan won numerous honours for Selangor. After WWII, Kwan moved to Negri Sembilan. [Henry] continued to captain the Selangor team in 1948, and making his debut for Selangor was Henry's nephew Edwin Dutton, who in later years was to captain the Malayan team.
