Biography

Puelles was introduced to football during his time as a student in Marsella, playing football in there.[2] He then played for FC Barcelona between 1900 and 1903, where he combined the positions of goalkeeper and defender, and won a Copa Macaya in 1901–02, the club's first-ever piece of silverware,[3] and a Copa Barcelona in 1902–03.

Together with Joan Gamper, John Parsons, the Morris brothers (Samuel, Enrique and Miguel), and Udo Steinberg, Puelles was part of the Barça team that participated in the 1902 Copa de la Coronación,[4] the first national championship disputed in Spain and the forerunner for the Copa del Rey. He featured in the final against Club Bizcaya (a combination of players from Athletic Club and Bilbao Football Club), which Barça lost 2–1.[5][6][7]

He was also an outstanding Basque ball player.[2]
