Club career

During his career, spent mainly in lowly outfits in Catalonia, Clos did manage eight La Liga seasons: six for FC Barcelona, mostly as a backup,[1] and three for Real Murcia (two of those in the second division).

After he retired in 1994, he had a lengthy spell at coaching, with all the clubs also hailing from his native region, mostly in amateur football.

International career

During his stint with Barça, Clos amassed three caps for Spain, all in 1985, but never took part in any major international tournament.

On 27 February 1985, however, he netted the game's only goal in a 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Scotland, which later proved decisive for Miguel Muñoz side's qualification (8 group points to 7).[1]
