Carles Comamala López-Del Pan (17 April 1889 – 4 August 1983) was an orthopedic surgeon by profession and a football player for Barcelona between 1903 and 1911. He was a director of Barcelona in 1909–1911.
In 1903, he joined Barcelona, when his friend Joan Gamper, president of FC Barcelona who had founded the club in 1899, retired. Comamala was a great striker who stood out for his side, scoring throughout his long career. He scored a total of 172 goals in 154 games for the club.
He had a very active life and also founded the Irish football team, the Galen[1][2] and the University. He also played for FC Casual.[3] He practised rugby and swimming, made occasional journalistic writings and became founder and first President of the Catalan Federation of Gymnastics, the forerunner of the Catalan Federation of Gymnastics, in 1923.[4]
Comamala played several matches for the Catalan national team between 1910 and 1912, scoring two goals, the first of which came in Catalonia's first-ever international game on 24 July 1910 (although not recognized by FIFA), a 1-3 loss to a Paris XI.
Carlos Comamala was considered a great cartoonist; he was the creator of the original idea for the current coat of arms of FC Barcelona, then won the public tender for Barça in 1910 to better design their shield.
Personal lifeedit
His brothers Arseni and Áureo were also footballers, who both also played for Barcelona. He was also the designer of the FC Barcelona club crest when he won a public competition held in 1910.[5]
