Isidro Díaz Bernabé (born 15 May 1972) is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a right midfielder.
Born in Valencia, Díaz spent his first years as a senior in the Tercera División, with the exception of the 1992–93 season, which ended in relegation from Segunda División B with Real Zaragoza's reserves. In the summer of 1995, he was part of a group of players dubbed "The Three Amigos" - which also included countrymen Jesús Seba and Roberto Martínez - who were brought to Wigan Athletic by club chairman Dave Whelan. He helped the club to the Third Division title two years later, with the player contributing with six goals in 35 games.
Unable to agree a new deal with Wigan, Díaz left the club by mutual consent in July 1997,[1] and signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers. He played one game for Wolves, a 3–0 defeat against Oxford United,[2] before returning to his previous club later that year. His second spell with Wigan was not as successful, appearing just three times in the league before moving to Rochdale at the end of the season. Midway through 1998–99, he returned to his home country to play for FC Cartagena.
Díaz spent the following seven years in Portugal and its second division, appearing and scoring regularly for both Leça FC (one season) and G.D. Chaves (six, where former Zaragoza and Wigan teammate Seba had already played). Aged 34, he returned to Spain and spent two years with Barakaldo CF in level three.
Díaz retired from football at the age of 38, after playing one 1/2 seasons with SD Laredo in the fourth division.
