Carlos Pellicer Vázquez

Deportivo

Born in A Coruña, Pellicer began his career with hometown club Deportivo. He made his senior debut in 1963–64 with the reserve team in Tercera División, Fabril; the club made the promotion playoffs but lost to Torrelavega. He made his La Liga debut on 4 October 1964 in a 1–0 loss away to Atlético Madrid, and ended his first season with 10 games and one goal as his team were relegated. Pellicer missed the entire 1965–66 season in the Segunda División, as he was training with his father to be an electrical engineer. He returned to Depor for the 1966–67 La Liga season and recorded six goals from 16 games in another season that ended with relegation. On 14 May 1967, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–2 home win over Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Copa del Generalísimo. Fans considered Pellicer to be a natural successor to Luis Suárez, but he played down the comparison, saying that Suárez and Amancio were on a different level to anyone else.

Barcelona

In 1967, Pellicer signed for Barcelona. In his first season there, he played seven games over all competitions, while his club won the 1967–68 Copa del Generalísimo against Real Madrid. In his second season, he won favour with manager Salvador Artigas and ended the campaign with 18 appearances and three goals between the league and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, though in an unfamiliar right-wing position. On 21 May he played in the 1969 European Cup Winners' Cup final, a 3–2 loss to Slovan Bratislava in Basel,…

Pellicer played two games for the Spain national under-23 football team in 1967. He debuted in a 1–0 loss to France on 22 March in Barcelona, and his other game was as a substitute in a 1–1 draw away to Luxembourg eight months later.

Pellicer had an interest in medicine, having read medical journals since his teenage years. After retiring from football, he spent 33 years as a doctor at the Juan Canalejo Hospital in his hometown.
