PINOY PRIDE!

I'll talk about a certain person named Paulino Alcantara. Here's his profile:

PAULINO ALCANTARA RIESTRA
BORN: October 7, 1896 in Iloilo City, Philippines
DIED: February 13, 1964 in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
DESCRIPTION:
He is a former Filipino and Spanish player and manager who spent most of his career at FC Barcelona. He plays the position of Forward. An interesting fact about this guy is that he debuted for FC Barcelona at the age of 15 and remains as the youngest player ever to play or score for the club. He also scored a whopping 357 goals in 357 matches, making him the club's all-time leading goalscorer. Alcantara is also the first Filipino and Asian player to play for a European club.

I got to know this guy thanks to Jeff. We were talking about Soccer then he suddenly blurted out that there was one prominent Filipino Soccer player before. He mentioned the guy that I talked about and I researched about it.

Now, I'm really proud that someone with Filipino lineage was able to do those accomplishments in the field of Soccer. The Pinoy Spirit lives on!

Savvy?
