Philippe Aw Thiam Hor is a Singapore professional football coach and former player who is former manager of S.League club Home United.
Aw played mostly as a winger throughout his footballing career and spent the majority of his professional career with the club he currently manages, Home United in the S.League.
Aw started off in his youth experimenting with many different sports, initially focusing on badminton, before switching to football. He went to Toh Tuck Secondary School where he played football, before moving to join the school team of Chestnut Drive Secondary School after the former institute closed down. Aw subsequently joined and captained the school football team of Ngee Ann Polytechnic in his third year of tertiary education, leading them to achieve the title of Inter-Varsity Polytechnic (IVP) champions in that year. Under the recommendation of his teammate Lim Soon Seng, who at that time played for Tiong Bahru in the Singapore National Football League Division One, Aw joined the amateur league side for training and represented the team competitively.
In 1998, after coaches P. N. Sivaji and Arasu, who managed Aw at Tiong Bahru, moved to join Balestier Khalsa, they brought him along and signed him on professional terms to play for the club. Aw made his debut the same year. The following year, after Aw had graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, he joined Home United while serving in the Singapore Police Force for his mandatory national service. After staying with the club for four S.League seasons, Aw left to pursue his career as a full-time police officer, while playing for Police SA in the Singapore National Football League, until he retired from football by the end of 2006.
