Departure from the Winnipeg Fury
In 1992, the Winnipeg Free Press writer Ashley Prest, wrote an article titled "Winnipegger Walks Away From Fury" about the departure of the midfielder. Eddy Gesualdo asked for his release after the 5-2 victory again the Montreal Supra at Winnipeg Stadium. Director of team operation Laurie McIvor was quoted to say, "Eddie was concerned about the playing time, because since Tommy (coach McManus) came, he (Gesualdo) hadn't had much. We really know what he (Gesualdo) can do; he has the offensive skills and Tommy has told him what he needs to work on. We really hate to lose him." Eddy was then quoted on saying, "I'm really disappointed in how things have gone because it took me five years to make this team, I finally did and Archie (former coach) gave me my chance, but now I am starting all over again."
