Since former commander of BDF swopped his military fatigues for the Dirty Game team jersey, he has played the dirty game with vigour and unusual skill. He has scored numerous goals including own goals in the process: Nonetheless, all said and done, party members are at a loss who to put in his place to fill gaping vacuum.

He came into the picture to slow down the decline already in progress.
