#5 Josep Escola
This Spanish forward played for Barcelona from 1934-1937 and then 1940-1949 with the break coming as a result of the Spanish Civil War and an exile placed on sportsmen thereafter.
During his stints with the club, Escola found the back of the net 163 times, scoring a further 60 goals in friendly competitions. He won La Liga on two occasions with the club as well.
Escola was an exceptionally good shooter blessed with loads of technical ability. He’s especially remembered for his sportsmanship on the pitch, and could be used as a great example for the modern footballer in such regard.
