There was a plan, back in 2005, to ask the PFF to honor Paulino Alcantara.
Should this be revived? Heck, maybe we can even have Barca support this one.
Just my two cents.

mike there was a posting re Alcantara on Facebook. I dont know where that has gone. That is why i prefer a forum where you can always find the topic. Anyway in it I suggested that a way to perpetuate the name of the Filipino born Barcelona icon would be have the PAULINO ALCATARA MEDAL player of the year to be awarded at a dinner. They can always add other awards to be presented during the night. But the Paulino Alcatara Medal should be the highlight of the night and the story of Paulino Alcantara and his exploits at Barca as well as the Spanish team would be revived. Those days when we were researching and getting details from Barca I had the feeling that Paulino was held in the highest regard within the history of Barcelona. To have him recognized with the highest player award in the country of his birth I would think and hope that Barca may get involved somehow. If I get the opportunity to have a chat with Nonong then I will put the thoughts to him. My two cents back to you Mike.

I agree, mate. I was thinking of a Paulino Alcantara Cup but let the private sponsors who want to bankroll future competitions have their name.
A Paulino Alcantara medal for the best player of the year is more apt, I'm pretty sure Barca, if will want to get involved with this if they get invited.

We can give tribute to Paulino Alcantarathe stadium the PFF gona build or the Alcantara Trophy for the Champions LEague or the golden Boots award.
