José Gaspar Hardoy Tizol (1865 – 24 January 1924) was a Spanish businessman who served as the 5th president of RCD Espanyol in 1911 and 1912, and then again in 1914 and 1915.
[2] On 4 July 1908, the issue of the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, a warning regarding him was written as follows: "Dr. Hardoy Tizol, dental surgeon, begs his clients who have started work to finish it, since he will only remain until 1 August, arranging his return from Paris and London with new equipment and materials".
[1] It was under his second mandate that the politician José Maria Tallada joined the board, a member who would be of great importance to the club as the president of the Catalan Football Federation.
[2] In addition to these positive results off the field, the team also achieved sporting success inside the lines, reaching the final of the 1915 Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao, in which a Basque referee was designated, which caused Hardoy to protest the partisanship of the Spanish Football Federation, which had called Espanyol a polemical club.
[2] This ended up being a shot on the foot since Hermann gave a penalty right away in the 4th minute, which was converted by Pichichi, who went on to score a hat-trick to help his side to a 5–0 victory over Espanyol.
