Founders - Attacking Midfielders

Gradin - He was the greatest combination of kindness and sport that Uruguay has ever produced. The expression on his face said it all. He was simply a good man. His kindness made him loved by friends and strangers alike. He was a sensational player, left-handed from birth, but who mastered both feet to perfection, he played on either wing, extremely fast and one of those who had it tied to his foot, his runs, crosses and diagonals were the nightmare of any defense, he also had a furious shot which also made him a fearsome scorer.
He was the first black player to bring crowds to their feet, his name was chanted by thousands of throats, we can say that he was ahead of his time, he was the one who, thanks to his personality, game and ability, opened the way for an entire race, not only in Uruguay, but in the entire continent, while in "civilized" countries and others not so much, his brothers of race were totally oppressed and relegated, he paved the way with his example. 
"He took the ball on the Uruguayan half-line, and in his classic, dizzying and spectacular "rushes", he reached the enemy goal, spreading panic. When not, his violent and dry shot put the enemy goalkeeper in serious trouble. And the goalposts, conspiring against the popular Yimbo, seemed to complain about the capricious impacts of the dark-skinned player. At half-time, only one name was on everyone's lips. It was Gradin."

Van Hege - Louis was part of the Belgian football team that won Olympic Gold in a somewhat chaotic manner by beating Czechoslovakia in the final 2-0 on September 2, 1920. He was a real star of the time. One of the best attacking players in the world in the 1910s, with an atypical career path that took him from Union to AC Milan. And who would experience a completely unexpected reconversion to bobsleigh. At 38, he was a reserve for the Belgian Olympic Bobsleigh team for the St. Moritz Olympics in 1928. He did not take part in the competitions. In 1932, he travelled to Lake Placid for the 3rd Winter Olympics. 
Van Hege made his mark by piling up goals. He earned the nickname Pallido Saettante (the pale lightning) for his speed and his white skin tone. He was skillful with both feet and extremely effective in front of goal.
