Manuel Amechazurra

Manuel Amechazurra (born ''Manuel Amechazurra Guazo''; March 8, 1888 – February 13, 1965), knicknamed "Amecha" and dubbed as "''El Aventurero''" and "''El Capitán''", was a Philippine-born Spanish, mostly known for being a footballer who played as a defender and the first Filipino/Asian-born player to play in Europe. He is most renowned for his two spells at FC Barcelona and for being one of its first captains while playing a total of 200 games in the first team with 22 goals scored.

Amechazurra was one of the most important figures in the amateur beginnings of FC Barcelona, serving as its captain for 5 years between 1909 and 1914, and thus playing a crucial role in Barça's huge sporting success of the early 1910s, winning four championships in Catalonia, three Copa del Reys in Spain and four Pyrenees Cups in a row. In addition to his contributions on the field, he was also one of the club's first undercover professional. Provided by Wikipedia
