Dutch filmmaker Johan Kramer helps tell the heartwarming story of Manel Vich, the Barcelona matchday announcer who has enjoyed a truly breathtaking view of the Catalan giants rise to greatness.
Having held the post since 1956, this remarkable tale is a fine example of what makes football just so special. One of the countless stories that goes untold - that of the stadium announcer - often someone so utterly committed to their club, the story of Manel is so beautifully true and put together in fitting style from Johan.
Only missing three games through his whole time working as part of the club, he is positively part of the furniture so rich in pure football spirit. What a man and what a story. Big credit to Johan for unearthing such a brilliant tale - he sure knows how to capture the soul of the game.
An award winning film maker who once played for Ajax and has gone on to work with many leading brands, his journey is an intriguing story in itself. Enjoy more of his work, here and do take a look at his bio. What a guy.
