Gaspar Gálvez Burgos (born 7 July 1979) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is the manager of Tercera Federación club Córdoba B.

He started his career with Atlético Madrid, and went on amass La Liga totals of 156 games and one goal over eight seasons, also representing in the competition Oviedo, Valladolid, Albacete and Alavés.[1] He added 208 matches and three goals in the Segunda División, mainly at the service of Córdoba.

Club career

Gálvez was born in Córdoba, Andalusia. A product of Atlético Madrid's youth system, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 3 January 1999 in a 3–2 away win against Racing de Santander where he came on as a late substitute,[2] and alternated between the A and B sides for several years; at the end of his second professional season, the former were relegated to Segunda División for the only time in their history.[3]

Following a six-month spell at Real Oviedo, with another top-flight relegation, Gálvez signed with Real Valladolid for two seasons, being re-bought by Atlético afterwards.[4] He was released at the end of a sole campaign, and was subsequently successively relegated from the main division with Albacete Balompié (where he scored his first goal as a professional, in a 1–1 draw at Levante UD on 18 December 2004)[5] and Deportivo Alavés.[4]

Gálvez then played two more years in the second tier with the Basques, returning to hometown's Córdoba CF in summer 2008 also in that league.[6] He alternated between the starting XI and the bench until his departure in June 2013.[7][8]

Gálvez retired in January 2015 aged 35, after spells at CD Mirandés (second division)[9] and SD Huesca (Segunda División B).[10][11]

International career

Gálvez was pre-selected by Spain for the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship, but eventually did not make the final cut as the national side went on to win the title in Nigeria.[12][13] Before and after that, he won caps at under-21 level.[9]
