In a glorious attempt to secure the highest prize in the West End footballing world, namely the First Division title, devised a thrilling strategy of out-and-out attack. With a squad which boasted net-busting quality of the calibre of , , , and , the problem was always going to be who to leave out rather than who to select. At least unselfishishly eased the selection conundrum slightly by spending the year in Singapore.

From September to May, Logica blazed a trail of some 80 goals in just 22 games that so nearly clinched the League Championship holy grail. The team scored in every game they played, and there were only two games in which they managed merely a single goal (one of which they won). Logica posted their largest victory since records began when they trounced Third Division Athletico Steeles by 13-2 in the second round of the West End Trophy, and also ran up two 8-1 league wins during the campaign. The superb led the way by bagging 18 goals in just 14 appearances, of which he failed to score in just two. And he was ably abetted by his talented Irish strike partner , who demonstrated clinical finishing throughout a season which saw him notch 13 times. The chipped in with a useful 11, whilst and scored eight apiece, three would-be strikers regularly having to accept a starting place in midfield.

Inevitably, such a cavalier strategy left the odd gap at the back. Whilst the likes of , , and were all galloping upfield to get their names on the scoresheet, goalkeepers and were left to pick the ball out of the Logica net no less than fifty times as only one clean sheet was recorded. Logica’s first six matches saw 44 goals, and included two 5-4 defeats. And ironically in a season of exhilarating forward play, it was who was voted Player’s Player of the Year by a huge margin, and defender who walked away with the prized Goal of the Season award for his brilliant strike against Lokomotiv Knightsbridge.

was lucky to have quantity as well as quality at his disposal, and as the season went from strength to strength on the field, so the clamour to be associated with a successful side grew. Midweek training at the luxurious Lithgow indoor complex helped ferment interest, as well as enabling the to fine-tune his tactics. Well ahead of his time, pioneered an early form of the rotation policy so fashionable in 21st century Premiership circles. A total of 29 players contributed to Logica’s ultimately frustrated bid for silverware, and never was the phrase "if selected…" so regularly and so nervously muttered each Sunday lunch-time.

Perhaps squad rotation was not to everyone’s liking, for quite a few of the old faithful played their last game in Logica colours this time out. , legendary full-back from the glory years, bid farewell to the adoring masses at Battersea Astrodome as he played one last match. And a brilliant season from both and meant that Logica would not be able to hold on to either of them much beyond the season's end. and also took their leave.

Alternatively, many heads may simply have been turned by ’s bold and ground-breaking quest to score in every continent: having already rippled nets in the Americas, his solitary Asian strike this year in a match at the Singapore Cricket Ground would later be supplemented by some African notches during a season playing in Nigeria. Marauding left-back, top comedy After-Dinner-Speaker and marathon runner packed his boots for Canada, whilst quality midfielder headed in the opposite direction, destined for New Zealand. It was also nearly time for a sad farewell to , larger-than-life centre half, and indeed larger than most other things, who would head off to the People’s Republic of Yorkshire after just one full season at the club. And it seemed it was the season for migrating full-backs when hung up his ‘sweet left peg’ and headed back to Belfast.

Whilst the flow of traffic was largely through the door marked 'Exit', there was at least one promising new talent coming in the opposite direction. A young Scot by the name of made a handful of appearances towards the end of the season, and immediately impressed as a strong tackler with no little skill. At home equally in midfield and the back four, would go on to fight many campaigns on Logica's behalf through the rest of the decade, and score a fair few goals into the bargain. Even more memorably, he would simultaneously grossly inflate the 'M' chapter of the Logica Football Club Book of Quotations at the expense of such characters as Mrs. Dann and a blind young Parisian girl, whilst phrases such as "Nils each" would rapidly achieve cliché status.

After racking up 16 goals in three pre-season friendlies, Logica surprised everyone with a stuttering start to their competitive campaign, although luckily this would prove irrelevant. An opening day 5-4 defeat against last season’s high-flyers Gucci was quickly forgotten when the football arm of the Italian fashion giants subsequently folded. Memorable goals from both and could not hide a disappointing 2-2 draw against second division Washington in the first round of the Trophy. But again there was no lasting damage as Logica comfortably won the replay 3-1 thanks to a brace from .

Logica got themselves on track with an impressive 4-2 win again a quality Holland Park side. did most of the damage with two goals, and he was on target again as Logica racked up two more victories against Woodvale Rovers and Burnside Rovers. The latter was an 8-1 thrashing at the Battersea Astrodome in which grabbed a hat-trick. But just as it seemed Logica were firing on all-cylinders, a lackadaisical 5-4 defeat away to Shamrock Celtic brought the eulogists back down to earth with a bump.

Perhaps this result was a blessing in disguise, for was clearly moved to instil a more ruthless approach that saw Logica go on to win their last four matches of 1991 whilst conceding just three goals. The last of these was almost an epitome of the professional performance, as a solitary goal secured a 1-0 victory against Woodvale Rovers at Battersea.

In contrast, the new year began with a further flurry of goals. Churchill Arms were dispatched as Logica again chalked up an 8-1 scoreline, player-Supremo notching four and grabbing a couple. was seemingly on fire when he blazed another hat-trick in the next match, the 13-2 Cup win over Athletico Steeles, with matching the gaffer, and , and helping themselves to a couple each.

As the season’s crunch-time approached, Logica reverted to grinding out some results as they took full points from the next three fixtures via a pair of 2-1 wins and a match award. This latter outcome seemed initially disappointing, as the travelling fans were expecting another cricket score against bottom club Star who failed to show up. Such complacency was exposed the following week when Star did manage to put in an appearance at the Astrodome, and were rewarded with a point from a bold 3-3 draw that put a serious dent in Logica’s title aspirations.

But having dropped just four points all season, Logica were still serious contenders as the West End’s monthly fixture computer threw them against table-topping Venice Utd twice in a fortnight. Two wins and Logica would be in the driving seat, but Venice proved to be a quality outfit boasting a fair sprinkling of players who played semi-pro on a Saturday. In the first leg of what would prove to be the Championship deciding head-to-head, Logica put up a brave fight before going down 4-2 with and on the scoresheet. Two weeks later, with the fillip of a 5-2 win over Churchill in the meantime, Logica put up an even better performance at the Astrodome. Goals from and kept Logica in the hunt, but Venice proved their superiority once again as they ran out 3-2 winners.

Logica bounced back from this huge disappointment to once more beat Holland Park, this time in the semi-final of the Divisional Cup with two goals from . But with Logica’s title hopes extinguished, the last three games of the season proved a huge anti-climax as the team crashed to three straight defeats. First Bajau surprised us with a 5-2 defeat in what would be the first of a trio of ding-dong Cup games over the next couple of seasons. Then, in our last league game of the season, Holland Park proved their ability with a 3-1 win that left us hanging on to the runners-up spot by the slender thread of goal difference.

This left us with one last chance for both silverware and revenge, as Logica once more came face-to-face with Venice Utd in the Divisional Cup Final at Hurlingham. Again, it was a close game, but for the third time this season Venice showed they had just enough and ran out 3-2 winners. So despite a spectacularly exhilarating and goal-packed season, Logica finished up empty handed, and it was they rather than Venice who had that sinking feeling.
