Walter Wild – known in Catalan as Gualteri Wild (born 13 October 1872) was a Swiss tradesman,[1] footballer and one of the twelve founders of FC Barcelona. He was club's first president for 513 days from 13 December 1899 to 27 December 1900, being re-elected three times but eventually resigning due to work.[2][3][4][5]
He combined his duties as president with playing, having played total of ten matches for the club including the very first one. His main achievement for the club was getting its first home ground at Hotel Casanovas. After his resignation Wild was awarded honorary president in recognition for his contribution to the club but having moved to London (which gave widespread mistake of attributing British nationality) showed little further interest in the club until 1949 when he returned as Honorary Guest on the FC Barcelona's 50th Anniversary.[6]
