Career & Clubs

Club career

Saura was born in Onda, Province of Castellón, Valencian Community. During his career, he played exclusively in his native region: after starting at CD Castellón he signed with local giants Valencia CF, where he would be an undisputed starter throughout his ten-year spell as well as captain, helping the side to win three titles in one year, most notably the 1979–80 European Cup Winners' Cup, while he added 37 goals in La Liga and 57 in all competitions. After leaving Valencia when his contract was not renewed, the 31-year-old Saura returned to Castellón for a further three Segunda División seasons. He then moved to amateurs CD Onda, his very first youth club, where he retired at the age of 37.

International career

Saura earned 23 caps for the Spain national team, the first coming on 8 November 1978 in a friendly against France. During Valencia's stellar 1979–80 he began being a regular for his country, and was called up for the UEFA Euro 1980 and the 1982 FIFA World Cup tournaments; in the latter, he scored one of his four international goals, netting in a 2–1 win over Yugoslavia after he had been on the pitch of a familiar Estadio Luis Casanova for only three minutes. Saura also represented Spain at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, as the nation was eliminated in the first round.
