William Parsons Alexander

While William Parsons Alexander did not accumulate personal trophies or competitive accolades, his role as a founder of FC Barcelona and Real Club de Tenis Barcelona places him among the key figures who shaped modern sport in Catalonia. His contribution is honored implicitly by both clubs, which celebrate their founding members in historical retrospectives. The centenary of FC Barcelona in 1999 and subsequent anniversaries have acknowledged the Parsons brothers as part of the club's origin story.
