EXPERIENCE
Logica FC Debut: 19 September 2004: Broadway 2-3 Logica. The reporter of the day noted: "Pete Chapman, in particular, turned in an authorative and skilful display on his debut at centre half. [He] produced a remarkable last ditch block to deflect a seemingly certain goal wide... Hatton and Chapman stood firm, the newcomer winning everything in the air as well as timing his tackles to perfection... Pete Chapman continued to impress, but it was another superbly timed tackle that ended his debut three minutes earlier than scheduled. Having got to the ball first to clear, the Broadway player was unable to stop his own play for the ball and accidentally caught the Logica defender with a painful kick on the inside of the knee. Chapman had to be carried from the field, but the ten remaining men of Logica held firm without further alarm to claim a big psychological boost via this first win of the season against very good opponents."
