Juanmi García

Juanmi was born in Cartagena, Region of Murcia. He began his career with local Cartagena FC, playing two Segunda División games in 1987–88 – still a junior – in a relegation-ending campaign. In summer 1990 he signed for Real Madrid, going on to spend two full seasons with the reserves; in 1992–93, he was third-choice for the main squad behind Francisco Buyo and Pedro Jaro. In the 1993 off-season, Juanmi moved to Real Zaragoza as backup to veteran Andoni Cedrún. After two years as second-choice (although he did manage to total 27 La Liga appearances), he went on to become the Aragonese side's undisputed starter, being instrumental in their 2001 conquest of the Copa del Rey. In July 2002, following Zaragoza's top-flight relegation, Juanmi signed for Deportivo de La Coruña on a free transfer, initially backing up José Francisco Molina. However, a testicular cancer to the latter made him the starter, and he performed well enough to help the Galicians to eventually finish third. Subsequently, Juanmi joined Real Murcia CF, alternating between the posts and the bench in four years. After only six games in the 2006–07 season, in a final promotion, he moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona also of the second division for one year. Juanmi retired in January 2008 at the age of 36, being immediately named his hometown club's FC Cartagena's goalkeeping coach.

Juanmi earned one cap for Spain, on 26 January 2000, in a match played in his city of birth. He replaced Molina for the final six minutes against Poland in a 3–0 friendly win.
