Charles Wilson Adam

Charles Wilson Adam (31 October 1848 – 3 September 1924) was a Scottish engineer who served as the first president of Spanish club Recreativo de Huelva from 1889 to 1896.

Early and personal life Charles Wilson Adam was born on 31 October 1848, While the sport of football was booming in the West of Scotland, he studied at the University of Glasgow to work as an engineer and draughtsman. By allowing it, Adam thus provided the land for the club's first ground.

Under his presidency, Adam signed, among others, the plans to close the Gasworks grounds in 1888, and then turned it into a playing field, the so-called Campo del Velódromo in June 1892, a sports venue that he promoted and designed as a member of the club's board, together with Mackay, and which was inaugurated by Recreativo on 20 August of that year, suitable for the practice of football and cricket. Adam held this position for nearly seven years, from 18 December 1889 to 29 November 1896, the year in which he resigned, being replaced by Mackay, who in turn held this position for nearly three decades until 1924, except for a brief period in 1903. who later stated that the work was a real challenge, as there are only a couple of photographs of the character that the Huelva club owned.
