Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography George Simpson Drynan Pattullo (4 November 1888 – 5 September 1953)[1] was a Scottish football player and manager active primarily in Spain. He has been described as FC Barcelona's "most import and influential British of all time."[2] In addition to being an outstanding football player, a sport to which he owes his career, he was also an outstanding athlete who also performed in other modalities such as hockey, rugby, and tennis.[3]
Biography
Born in Glasgow, Pattulo moved to Barcelona in Spain whilst working as a coal trader, playing rugby, field hockey, tennis and eventually football there.[4] In 1910, having just arrived in Barcelona, he was discovered by Joan Gamper in a friendly match between the British colony of Barcelona and the Universitari, in which Pattullo started as a goalkeeper before coming out to score five goals.[1][3] Gamper convinced him to join FC Barcelona, where he became a forward.[4]
He made his football debut for FC Barcelona on 24 September 1910, and scored 41 goals in just 23 matches during the 1910–11 season,[5] playing for the club between September 1910 and May 1911, when he had to return to his homeland Scotland on business.[6] However, in March of 1912, he returned to Barcelona from Scotland in order to play the quarter-finals of the 1912 Pyrenees Cup on 10 March against city rivals Espanyol, netting two goals to help Barça to a 3–2 win in what was his last match for the club, which went on to win the tournament after beating Stade Bordelais 5–3 in the final.[4][7] FC Barcelona paid for his hotel, but due to his loyalty to his amateur status, he returned the whole amount to the club.[3] Pattullo remained as an amateur player, and refused to sign for Espanyol.[8] A few days later he returned to Scotland for good only to return in April 1928 to take the honorary kick-off in a La Liga match between Barcelona and Real Oviedo at the Camp de Les Corts.[3]
He left Barcelona before World War I, returning to Great Britain to join the Tyneside Scottish Brigade; he was awarded the Military Cross.[1][2] He also managed Club Baleares briefly in 1930.[2] He returned to Spain in 1928 thinking the climate would help him with his recovery from being gassed during the War.[4]
