Carlos Naval
One of the more interesting and long-serving (if not the longest serving) employees at the club in recent memory. Carlos Naval has been a club delegate ever since 1972. He has witnessed from very close hand the era of Cruyff as a player and manager, Maradona and Schuster's time at the club, the Dream Team, the miserable Gaspart era, Laporta's revival, the Pep era and the more recent ones of course.
He gave a rather interesting interview to a French Swiss newspaper recently where he talks about a few interesting topics. I saw this link on Twitter and I thought about translating it but it is a bit long so not sure If I bother to do it tonight and there might be available translations of it in Spanish or English already.

I liked his comment about Barça not winning anything without warriors like Puyol.
In any case I think that such a long-time club servant like Naval deserves a thread of his own at least.
