Gustavo Gren Córdoba (10 May 1880 – 9 November 1965), better known as Gustavo Green, was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for FC Barcelona[1] and RCD Espanyol.[2][3]
After spending his childhood in a south London neighborhood, he settled in Barcelona and began playing friendlies with Escocès FC, Català FC, and Team Roig.[4][5] He was captain of the side that won the very first official title in Spanish football, the 1900–01 Copa Macaya with Hispania AC.[4][5][6] He won all three editions of the Copa Macaya with three different clubs (Hispania AC, Barça and Español), being the only one to do so.[6][7] He was thus the first great star of Catalan football as well as one of the first great forwards of Barcelona and RCD Espanyol (then Club Español), netting over 100 for them between 1911 and 1910, although this tally includes goals scored in friendlies and unofficial games.[6]
