In addition to the theater, Georgy Pavlovich Menglet had another passion that he carried through his whole life. He was a sports fan and supported the CSKA team. Many of the people close to him recalled this passion.

... Dad was a football fan all his life. Wake him up at night, ask who in 1945 scored a goal in the right corner with the left foot to the CSKA team - he will immediately answer. He also introduced me to football - he took with him to matches. I was sick with him, screaming, worried. He has been a fan of CSKA all his life. I also became a fan of this team. Dad was for me inherent in theater and football.
