Captain David Rochela is one of the best-known defenders in Thai football. He has a calm but determined attitude, and rarely has to lunge in to a tackle because he reads the game so well. Rochela’s class is underlined by the fact that he played for Spain as they reached the final of the 2007 under 17 World Cup. In 2019, Port’s captain was surprisingly dropped from the T1 squad, but still played a key role in Port’s FA Cup victory. In 2020 he has once again been overlooked in the T1 squad, but may play a part in the FA Cup once again.
