During the 55th Anniversary of the PB Foment Martinenc, Jordi Cardoner and Carles Rexach, supported this historic penya based in Barcelona. Supporters paid tribute to Reixach for his years at Barça.
Vicepresident of the Social Area Jordi Cardoner, along with Board Consultant Carles Rexach, were
the representatives of the Club on an event held at Foment Martinenc, one of the most historic
cultural centres of Barcelona. This society’s supporters’ club celebrated its 55th
anniversary and the Club’s representatives took the chance to visit the facilities of this
125-year-old building. Jordi Cardoner stated that “this supporters’ club is an example
of how sports and culture can grow together”, also highlighting that “the PB Foment
Martinenc had to work a lot to achieve this figure”.
Tribute to Rexach
This penya has obviously seen most history of FC Barcelona, and their members did not want to
take for granted any of the periods Carles Rexach played for FC Barcelona. Therefore, they took
this occasion to pay tribute to the third player with most appearances in the history of FC
Barcelona.
Recalling Messi’s arrival
Being Carles Rexach and Josep Maria Minguella present in the celebration, PB Foment
Martinenc wished to acknowledge their important role on signing Messi for Barça when the latter was
only a kid. Rexach, who was Sporting Director of Professional Football at that time, explained he
clearly saw in a matter of minutes that Messi had to sign for FC Barcelona.
