Gus Caesar

And I think, you know, that's what Nick Hornby talks about in, doesn't it, in Fever Pitch.

You know, he talks about Gus Caesar, who had...

Basically to the point he got into the Arsenal setup, I think somebody would've known.

Yeah, I was at-

I would have just as well, perhaps I wasn't commentating on it.

I've mentioned at least three times the Gus Caesar in the 80s, who was known as the five minute man.

And he got on for five minutes because he wouldn't get his match appearance fee unless he got on.

Was it that or he wouldn't get a league type? No, no, no, no.

to do with the medals.

And I don't think he was in a title winning team.

But when the five-minute ball was up and Nonny Madaweke came on, I thought, you're the new Gus Caesar.

But he was, of course, the last sub and it did.

For others, try and watch extended highlights where you can, like against Arsenal.

This was an Arsenal team who were defensively very, very good, just with Gus Caesar.

Pretty much his career never recovered from that.

But yeah, there's a lot.

I mean, people forget we got to the League Cup final.

And, you know, if it hadn't have been for Kepa's playing, Kepa's probably our worst player in a League Cup final, definitely since Gus Caesar.

And I'm actually going to put him down as worse than Gus Caesar after that.

You remember Luton in 88? You remember that far back? I think Kepa actually eclipsed him in the game against City.

But, you know, Luton were awful.

After the Premier League started is when we actually had a larger impetus for I mean, for the Premier League or English football in Hong Kong in general.

So during this time in Hong Kong, I mean, the 90s, who did we bring from Arsenal? Gus Caesar, you know, one of our biggest failures of all time at Arsenal.

Sorry for that.

But Gus Caesar actually stayed in Hong Kong for many years, like 20 plus years, actually out here developing football in Hong Kong.

And so he's a he's a good man.

Like we love him out here.
