An Evening with Gus Poyet at Tandoori Lounge Hornchurch

Price range: £65.00 through £120.00

Join us for an unforgettable evening with former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur star Gus Poyet, the first Uruguayan to manage in the Premier League, at the award-winning
Tandoori Lounge in Hornchurch.
A night packed with incredible football stories, dressing-room secrets, laughter, fascinating insights and exceptional food.

One of the Premier League’s most charismatic and popular midfielders, Gus Poyet enjoyed a remarkable playing career with Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Zaragoza, earning a reputation for his goalscoring ability, passion and unforgettable performances on the biggest stages.

A Copa América winner with Uruguay, Gus became a huge fan favourite at Stamford Bridge, helping Chelsea lift the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FA Cup. His flair, eye for goal and larger-than-life personality made him one of the club’s standout performers before he crossed London to join Tottenham Hotspur, where he continued to entertain Premier League crowds.

But Gus’s football story didn’t end when he hung up his boots.

After launching his managerial career at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he guided the Seagulls to the League One title, Gus made history in 2013 by becoming the first Uruguayan manager in Premier League history when he took charge of Sunderland.

He went on to lead the Black Cats to the 2014 League Cup Final at Wembley and masterminded one of the Premier League’s most remarkable escapes from relegation, including an unforgettable victory over José Mourinho’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

From sharing dressing rooms with some of football’s biggest names to facing the pressures of Premier League management, Gus has experienced the game from both sides of the touchline.

Expect entertaining stories from his Chelsea and Tottenham days, unforgettable moments from his playing career, tales of life in management, behind-the-scenes revelations and plenty of laughter.

This is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with one of football’s most passionate and entertaining personalities.
