Paulino Alcántara

Who is he? Well, only Barcelona's all-time top scorer, as claimed on the website of the Philippine Football Federation.

And he certainly is, with a phenomenal record of 356 goals in 357 games for the Catalans between 1912 and 1927. Prolific Paulino, who was born in Iloilo City to Spanish parents in 1896, was the first Asian-born player to play for a European club and also remains Barcelona's youngest ever goalscorer after slotting home a hat-trick on his debut against Catalá SC at the fair age of 15.

It should be noted that Alcántara's achievements may have been helped by the fact Barcelona played in an exclusively Catalan league at that time, rather than the modern La Liga, but they have never been seriously threatened. He also played for both the Philippines and Spain, but only a handful of times for each since he preferred to prioritise his medical studies ahead of his career. His boots remain on show in the club's museum.

Here is a video tribute to him.
