First training session was at the Army dirt oval in Hanoi but I can only remember half of that as I was stretchered off due to lack of oxygen. Played in the inaugural game and believe the only touch I got was a Falcon in an otherwise unattended forward line that rebounded straight to a defender.
Played in the first away game in KL (2005) and the first Asian champs in Bangkok (2007) at which I had an illustrious coaching record of 0-4.
My main contributions were off-field and helped organize the travel to KL, Cambodia and Bangkok, brought in Andy Wall and Jim Beam to the Swannies and with Fabulous Phil Johns, helped expand the Swannies to HCMC in 2007 and was the inaugural Saigon President of the Vietnam Swans.
