Carlos Welton

Carlos Jorge Welton Niño was an English footballer who played as a midfielder for Sevilla FC in the early 1890s.

Early life Carlos Welton was born in Seville as the son of Josefa Niño, a native of Triana, and George William Welton, an English chemist by profession who owned a small shop on Calle San Jacinto. This club had both Spanish and British members, but it was the latter group who was the driving force of the club, since some of them had to instruct the Spaniards in the handling of skiffs, with Welton remaining one of the club's most active members until 1883, when it disappeared. so despite being Spanish by birth, they all received a typically English education, thus being familiarized with the practice of football, so much so that in the late 1880s, they decided to create a football team made up of Seville residents.

White worked at his father's foundry, Portilla y White, and as such, he knew some of the British employees of the Seville Water Works Company Limited, so White and the Welton brothers recruited some of them to their new football team. Some sources wrongly claim that the Welton brothers started for Sevilla in the first official football match in Spain, but it was only Enrique.

Sevilla and Huelva kept facing each other in the early 1890s, home and away, most notably during the celebrations of the fourth centenary of the Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in October 1892, when the Welton brothers started in a match against Huelva for the so-called Copa del la Raza, during which one of the brothers fell to the ground unconscious after a kick in the stomach by Huelva's Pepe Garci. Some sources state that it was Enrique,

Death On 1 January 1951, Welton, then an industrialist living at Calle Marques de Paradas, died.
