During his four-year spell, he never played in less than 32 league games,[2] going on to win three consecutive national championships. In the 1986–87 season, he appeared in 44 official games, including nine in the season's European Cup – he played the full 90 minutes in the final 1–2 loss against F.C. PortoinVienna.
