SINGAPORE - Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge had to catch three flights over two days, travelling over 11,400km before reaching the Philippine city of Bacolod on Monday (Nov 12).
But the 28-year-old had no qualms making the arduous journey to play two Group B games in the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup - Tuesday's match against Singapore and Saturday's game against Timor Leste.
