# Bill Caesar

William Cecil Caesar (25 November 1899 – 5 April 1988) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Surrey in one match in 1922 and then, 24 years later, in three matches for Somerset in 1946.

## Cricket career

Caesar was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium fast bowler, "distinctly quick" in his younger days, said his obituary in Wisden. He was picked in a reduced-strength Surrey side for a first-class match against Scotland in June 1922, not batting and failing to take a wicket in 14 overs. Across the following years, he played on occasion for Surrey's second eleven in the Minor Counties Championship and for the Civil Service cricket team in minor matches.
Then, in 1946, "no more than military medium and of comfortable build by then", says one account, he played three matches for Somerset. Wisden described him at this stage as a "Bath amateur". In his first game for Somerset, against Leicestershire at Melton Mowbray, he scored 5 not out and then 7, and these were his highest batting scores in first-class cricket; in Leicestershire's innings, he took two for 11 and four for 59, and these were the best bowling returns of his career.

## Football career

Caesar was also a well-known amateur football player and played for the England international team, as well as for Football League teams such as Darlington, Fulham and Brentford.

# Bobby Flavell (Scottish footballer)

Robert Wilson Flavell (1 September 1921 – 18 March 2005) was a Scottish football player and manager. His senior playing career, which was delayed by the Second World War, had its high point at Dundee, where he won two Scottish League Cup winners' medals in consecutive years. Flavell won two caps for the Scotland national football team, both in 1947. He later became a manager of Ayr United, St Mirren and Albion Rovers.

## Playing career

Flavell was born in Annathill, North Lanarkshire in 1921. He joined the senior game by signing for Airdrie in 1937 as a teenager, but only played two seasons before the war broke out; he had to wait until the 1946–47 season to make another league appearance. During the conflict, Flavell had made guest appearances for both Arsenal and Tottenham. When the Scottish Football League resumed in 1946, Flavell scored over a goal per game for Airdrie and won his two caps for Scotland, which convinced Heart of Midlothian to pay £10,000 to acquire his services.
Flavell again scored frequently at Hearts, but he became a football outcast on 12 June 1949 by signing for Millonarios, of the breakaway Colombian league, a move that Hearts manager Dave McLean said meant he would "never play for Hearts again". Flavell played alongside the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano in Bogota, but at the end of the Colombian season returned to Scotland in December 1950; he was punished heavily for his actions in going to Colombia, attracting far stronger sanctions than English players who had made a similar move. He was fined £150 – then a record fine for a Scottish player – and suspended from playing until May 1951. He was transfer-listed by Hearts in February 1951, before signing for Dundee in April, making his debut for the club in a Dewar Shield game against St Johnstone on 5 May 1951. Flavell scored goals in both the 1951 and 1952 Scottish League Cup Finals, which helped Dundee win the cup in successive years. He also played in the 1952 Scottish Cup Final, which ended in a 4–0 defeat by Motherwell. He also played for Kilmarnock and St Mirren before retiring as a player.

## Coaching career

Flavell had five stints as a manager at three clubs, starting with Ayr United in 1961. He quickly moved to St Mirren, whom he guided to the 1962 Scottish Cup Final. He briefly returned to Ayr, before having two spells at Albion Rovers. Flavell later became a director of Albion Rovers.

Leonel Pontes da Encarnação (born 9 July 1972) is a Portuguese football manager. He is currently the technical director of Chinese club SH Shenhua.

## Coaching career
### Portugal

Born in Porto da Cruz, Madeira, Pontes coached in the youth ranks of Sporting CP from 1996 to 2005, also managing the reserves for two matches in the third tier in February 2003. He became assistant manager of the first team to Paulo Bento in 2005, and assumed interim charge when the latter resigned on 6 November 2009. His sole game in charge was two days later, a 2–2 draw at Rio Ave F.C. in the Primeira Liga. In September 2010, he was made Bento's assistant at the Portugal national football team.
On 8 May 2014, Pontes left for top-flight club C.S. Marítimo of his native island. He resigned the following 2 March, with the team in 11th.

### Abroad

On 9 June 2005, Pontes was hired by Super League Greece club Panetolikos FC, with several compatriots amongst his staff. He was dismissed on 28 September with the team in fifth, with two wins and as many losses from five games.
On 20 November 2015, Pontes was named manager of Al Ittihad Alexandria Club in Egypt. He was sacked the following 9 March, when the team were two places above the relegation zone.
On 8 August 2016, Pontes was appointed as the coach of the Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Debreceni VSC after the resignation of Elemér Kondás. He signed a three-year contract and he brought his compatriot colleague José Maria Calado Pratas with him. On 14 September, the club were eliminated from the 2016–17 Magyar Kupa after a 1–0 defeat at the ETO Park against the Nemzeti Bajnokság III club Győri ETO FC, making them the only Nemzeti Bajnokság I club which could not qualify for the best 64 teams.
On 22 February 2017 Pontes' Debrecen went six games without a win in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, the first time since 2001–02. On 19 March, director Géza Róka said that they do not issue an ultimatum to sack him. On 22 May, he left the club with mutual agreement and he was replaced by András Herczeg for the last round against Diósgyőri VTK to escape from the relegation.
On 14 July 2018, Pontes was named the new manager of Spanish Segunda División B side FC Jumilla for the upcoming season. The campaign ended the following 2 June with relegation to the Tercera División after a 4–2 aggregate loss to Real Unión.

### Return home

On 21 June 2019, Pontes returned to Sporting, to manage the under-23 team on a two-year contract. He returned to interim charge of the club on 3 September after the dismissal of Marcel Keizer, and eleven days later he was given a two-year contract for the post, ahead of his first game. On 26 September, having drawn once and lost three times in four games across all competitions, he was replaced by Silas.
From December 2022 to October 2023, Pontes was in charge of Sporting da Covilhã.
