Narcís de Carreras
FC Barcelona president (1905-1991)
Narcis de Carreras i Guiteras (1905, in La Bisbal d'Empordà — 1991, in Barcelona) was a Spanish lawyer and president of Barcelona.
Politically close to the Catalan Regionalist League in his youth (he was personal secretary of Francesc Cambó), he chaired Barcelona between 1968 and 1969 (he coined the phrase "Barça is more than a club", which would later be adopted as motto, "més que un club") and became president of La Caixa in 1972, after the death of Miquel Mateu i Pla. In 1987, he was replaced by Juan Antonio Samaranch to run the savings bank.

Why this record matters
The phrase “fC Barcelona president (1905-1991)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q782409. VIAF identifies the subject as 304379627. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1905, 1991, 1968 and 1969.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
