# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Hans Max Gamper-Haessig was born in Switzerland on 22 November 1877, a versatile athlete who would carry football across borders. He founded Barcelona in 1899, then played as the club's first captain through 1903, scoring over 100 goals in just 48 matches and lifting the Copa Macaya in 1902 — the club's first silverware. He returned as president five times between 1908 and 1925, and in 1909 secured the funds to build the Camp de la Indústria, the club's own stadium, the foundation that let Barcelona grow through the next decade. Under his watch the team claimed eleven Championat de Catalunya, six Copa del Rey, and four Pyrenees Cups. He died on 30 July 1930.
