Fafié made his debut for hometown club Feijenoord against Fortuna '54[1] in 1959[2] and also played for Rotterdam club Xerxes as well as for PSV. During an injury-hit spell he only played 13 games for the Eindhovenaren.[3][4]
At Utrecht, he earned the nickname King Ab after steering them to European football with a fourth-placed finish in his first season.[8] The club crashed out of next year's UEFA Cup to Spanish giants Real Madrid and after some less successful seasons, Fafié was given the sack in 1994.[9]
He also had spells in charge at two Indonesian clubs[10] and coached the final years of his life at amateur sides CVV, Overmaas, WSE and NBSVV.[5]
