The reign of was small but beautiful. The purple one added a whole new dimension to the concept of "if selected…" after he was installed in the hot-seat in the summer of 1989. 's highly competitive streak saw him hit upon the novel idea of postponing any fixture for which he did not have a full-strength squad available for selection. The result was two-fold. Logica did not lose a single match before Christmas, but having only played six league games, the club found itself with a backlog of fixtures that required them to play two games a day for the rest of the season.

The pressure intensified when resigned in a haze of controversy during the festive period. The official reason given by a club spokesperson was that had left "to pursue a bigger career challenge in the field of Pre-sales Support", but a number of unsavoury rumours at the time hinted that in fact the Logica Supremo craved to spend more time at home with his DIY.

It was a sad end to an all-too brief purple sovereignty that had promised much. But even in just six months and just 8 matches at the helm, had left a poignant legacy. It is only fair to give credit where it is due, and note that the legendary jade kit was 's choice and his alone, and that his fashionable tastes were maintained in the face of fierce opposition from every quarter.

But perhaps, of even greater significance, it was 's vision that led the team into Europe. It was the great man who conceived of the tour to Amsterdam in 1989, painstakingly organising the whole complex itinerary, and proudly leading his charges in a mini-bus to the seaside backwater of Scheveningen for Logica Football Club's very first 'touah'. Although they did not ultimately win their first European trophy, Logica did remain unbeaten in the tournament, and, more importantly, acquired a strong thirst for continental competition.
