Francisco Rodríguez García

Rodri was born in Barcelona, Catalonia. After having already played his youth football at the club, he signed for FC Barcelona in 1958 from neighbours CD Condal. He totalled 48 games over his first two seasons, in which La Liga was won, but appeared in only nine matches in his last four. Rodri made his debut in the top division with Condal, in a 6–0 away loss against Real Madrid on 9 September 1956, with the campaign ending in relegation. He left Barcelona in 1966 at the age of 32, retiring shortly after; he acted as assistant manager at his main team for six years, mostly under Rinus Michels.

Rodri earned four caps for Spain in 1962, and was included in the squad for that year's FIFA World Cup. In the tournament in Chile, he appeared in a 1–0 win over Mexico and a 2–1 defeat to Brazil in a group-stage exit.
