When playing for Meadowbank, Kasule was one of the first ever black players in the Scottish game - a fact that the Meadowbank supporters were proud of.[2]
Kasule signed for Albion in 1982 and scored 18 goals in 132 appearances, aiding in the creation of many more.[1]
Kasule was once described by The Guardian as "an armoured car of a winger with a cannon for a shot". "Vodka Vic", as he was nicknamed, was legendary as much for his off-the-field recreational exploits and antics as those on it. It was reported in the Sunday Herald that he was once disciplined by three separate clubs within a few months.[3] He is often described as extravagantly gifted but ludicrously ill-disciplined.[4] In 2005, he topped a poll for "Albion Rovers' all-time cult hero" run by Football Focus of the BBC.[5]
