Manuel Badenes

Badenes started his career at CD Castellón. His first season at the club saw him score four goals in ten games which resulted in a move to Barcelona. He spent two season at the club, winning two La Liga titles before moving to Valencia. He scored 90 goals in 97 games at Valencia before moving to Real Valladolid, where he won the Pichichi trophy awarded to the top scorer in La Liga in 1958.

Badenes is the all-time top goal scorer of Spain B with 8 goals, and remarkably, he managed to achieve this feat having only two appearances for the team (a ratio of four goals per game), both at the 1953–58 Mediterranean Cup, netting four past Greece and four again against Egypt, to be crowned the tournament's top goal scorer. However, despite his prolificness for the B team, he never managed to reach the main team.
