EXPERIENCE
Logica FC Debut: 12th March 2006: Logica 1-0 Invictus. The reporter of the day noted: "But despite the first forty-five minutes being played almost entirely in the Logica half, there were few real scares for debutante Algerian international keeper Chicco, whose long-negotiated signing was finally sealed just minutes before the last orders bell in the Victoria signalled the transfer deadline. His first touch was excusably nervous: even the experience of being involved in the 1982 World Cup in Spain cannot have prepared him for the pressures of playing in front of the combined and all-seeing scrutiny of Grooms Junior and Senior. Fortunately, the spilled ball was eventually fired high and wide, and the glovework that followed was faultless. Chicco soon showed his class, cutting through the air like a trapeze artist in a perfectly arced dive to pluck a rasping drive from the heavens at full stretch. Further, more mundane, saves followed, and even when a header from a corner appeared to have looped over the Logica keeper's reach, the ever alert Melville was well placed to head off the line. One could even forgive Chicco's optimistically short goal-kicks, executed one presumes in the naïve expectation that Logica might build patiently from the back like they do in proper football. Bless! Well before the interval, he had resorted to hoofing it long like all those that had kept before him."
