Iván Iglesias

Born in Gijón, Asturias, Iglesias started playing professionally with local Sporting de Gijón. After just two seasons – and only appearing regularly in 1992–93 – he was signed by La Liga club FC Barcelona in summer 1993, after agreeing to a five-year contract. Never an undisputed starter at the Camp Nou, Iglesias did make 71 competitive appearances in his two-year spell. On 8 January 1994, he closed the scoring for Johan Cruyff's side against Real Madrid in a 5–0 home rout; Barcelona eventually clinched the league title. Shortly after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Iglesias returned to Sporting for the 1995–96 campaign (on loan), after which he switched to neighbouring Real Oviedo where he would stay for four years, always in the top flight. He retired in June 2002 aged 30 while at Rayo Vallecano in the same league, totalling 230 games and 21 goals over 11 seasons. Iglesias later opened a football school with his former Sporting teammate Juanele.
