Hello World!

My project
My project revolves around shading light on the Spanish football at the turn of the century (1890–1930), mostly about individuals who were somehow involved in its infancy and amateur/humble beginnings, such as goalkeepers (Darío de Arana), defenders (Francisco Cabedo), midfielders (Francisco Arencibia), forwards (Enrique Montells), substitutes (Luis María Uribe), one-match players (Eduardo Schilling), +10-seasons players (Casimiro Mallorquí), youth prodigies (José Gandarias and Armando Sagi), old bloomers (Julius Müller), Copa del Rey final scorers (Miguel de Valdeterrazo), El Clásico hat-trick scorers (Luis Belaunde), turncoats (Luciano Lizárraga), managers (Manuel Ansoleaga), team captains (Luis Iceta), referees (Luis Colina), pioneers (Samuel James Morris), club founders (Gaspar Matas), club’s first statutes creators (Pere Cabot and José Luis Gallegos), club re-founders (Emilio Sampere), club member number 1s (Julià Clapera), club secretaries (Julio Chulilla), club vice secretaries (Manuel Solé), club presidents (Manuel Castellanos and Manuel Gallego), club vice presidents (Enrique Varela de Seijas), secretaries of football federations (José García Cernuda), presidents of football federations (Eduardo Alesson), presidents of referees committees (Luis Saura del Pan), club treasurers (Octavi Aballí), club patrons (Manuel Rodríguez Arzuaga), club shirt purchasers (Eusebio Fernández Muñiz), trophy donators (Alfonso Macaya), fathers of football families (Adolfo A. Buylla), team doctors (Àlvar Presta), match chroniclers (Joaquim Escardó), league founders (José María Acha), tour organizers (Manuel de la Sota), and even stadium architects (Manuel María Smith).

In addition to individuals, I have also created several other articles about this matter, such as stadiums (Nuevo Velódromo de Barcelona and Camp del carrer Muntaner), matches (Real Madrid v FC Barcelona (1916 Copa del Rey)), tournaments (1902 Copa Pergamino and 1902 Medalla del Ayuntamiento), cups (1941–47 FEF President Cup), regional championships (1939 Campeonato Mancomunado Centro), club seasons (1939–40 Atlético Aviación season), and even referee committees (National Committee of Referees).

Outside of Spain, but still in football, I have had a foot in Portuguese footballers (Carlos Villar), English footballers (Norman Hall), Belgian footballers (Paul Dechamps and Freek Kampschreur), French internationals (Robert Eucher), Olympic football medalists (René Ressejac-Duparc), Belgium matches (1901 Coupe Vanden Abeele), ‎French tournaments (1900 Coupe Manier), Dutch tournaments (Zilveren Bal), and even international tournaments (1911 UIAFA European Football Tournament).

Outside of football overall, I have had a littlefinger on tennis players (Johan Sjögren and Bojan Božović), tennis youth careers (Novak Djokovic junior years), tennis cups (Tim Essonne), championships (Tennis European Junior Championships), and tours (Tennis Europe Junior Tour), local magazines (La Libertad (Madrid)), Spanish ladies (Clara Noble), Spanish doctors (Rafael Rodríguez), Spanish industrialists (Pedro Pascual Gandarias), Spanish military officers (César del Villar), Spanish soldiers at the Battle of Waterloo (Luis Figueroa y Casaus), and perhaps most importantly of all, Danish dairy manufacturers (Rasmus Tholstrup).
