Pío Abdón Wandosell Calvache (30 July 1881 – 1907) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for Madrid FC, who is best known for taking part in the club's very first line-up in 1902.[1][2]
Pío Wandosell was born in La Unión on 30 July 1881, as the eldest son of Pío Wandosell and Dolores Calvache Yáñez.[2] At the turn of the century, the Wandosells spent some time in England, where he and his brothers developed a deep interest for football, so when the family returned to Spain, settling in the capital, he and his brother Adolfo began to play it, first in the streets, and later at the Royal Alfonso XII College, where they were attending secondary education, with Pío studying Industrial Engineering.[1] He also studied at Instituto de San Isidro.[3]
