*Centennial*
The logo of the centennial includes all the basic elements of the symbolism of the club (shield and colors) concocted in a visual and synthetic manner. The one-hundred years of the club's existence are easily identified with the numbers 1899-1999, but are also more symbologically identified with the presence of 100 spears in the interior and exterior of the logo therein.
*Club History*
Joan Gamper is the man who founded F.C.Barcelona on November 29, 1899. In Spain, football (soccer) entered through Huelva where british workers taught the curious sport to their fellow workmates. In 1878, the growing number of supporters created the Huelva Recreation Club, which played it's first matches against the crews of british merchant ships. In Barcelona, football was born in the town of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, where Gamper lived. He was a swiss man that regularly played football matches in his house with other patriots. Scottish and Englishmen also gathered and the rest is history!
These men formed the first 'official' club in 1901. Standing: Witty, Reig, Meyer, Cabot. Kneeling: Llobet, Widerkeher, Valdes. Sitting: Parsons, Steinbeg, Gamper, Green, Cenarro.

*My Favorite
Player*
Iván De la Peña
(Spain)
Iván is my favorite FCB player because of his outstanding passing skills and dribbling talent. He gives everything to the team and he's a joy to watch. They call him "Little Buddha" because of his shaven head. He's not yet a spanish international, but he soon will be if he continues playing like he does.
