Pello Iguaran's Football Journey

Pello Iguaran started his football career playing for Deportivo Alavés during the 1963-1964 season. After that season, his team, Alavés, moved down to a lower league.

Playing for Real Sociedad

Right after leaving Alavés, Iguaran joined Real Sociedad. He played for this new club for seven years, from 1964 to 1971. During most of his time there, he was a "reserve defender." This means he was a backup player who didn't always start every game.

A Big Moment for Real Sociedad

Even as a reserve player, Iguaran was part of a very important game in 1967. He was in the starting lineup when Real Sociedad played against Calvo Sotelo. In this match, his team won "promotion." This means they moved up to a higher and more important football league. It was a big achievement for the club!

Career Totals

Pello Iguaran played a total of 85 games for Real Sociedad during his time with the team. He later returned to Deportivo Alavés for the 1971-1972 season before ending his career.
