On the road to #NeuchatelSevens 43rd edition “C’était mieux avant”!
A tribute to The Good ol’ days!
Today: The Grumpy
Amédée-Gontran Djougachvilic aka « La Moustache de Fer » or “ Djouga ». You can get up early to intimidate this fellow, protected by his legendary mustache.
Amédée-Gontran always stood out of the frame, he flew to Switzerland after the 1905 aborted revolution following a stupid argument about mustache with a hairy fellow Georgian.
Once in Neuchatel “Djouga” created the « Soviet Union of St-Blaise » and during Vladimir Illitch’s stay in Zurich he even invited him at the Fête des Vendanges 1916. It is well known that following his monumental hangover in Neuchatel he plotted the 1917 Revolution. Sorry world.
“ Djouga” remained and empowered by his mustache and red flag, he became a specialist on arguments during trainings and instigated a soviet of players to discuss and negotiate for every single exercices! Tough guy.
C’était mieux avant? 🏉
