Football career

Born in Cuenca, Castilla–La Mancha, Rubio played exclusively for UE Lleida during his professional career. With the Catalans, he experienced relegation to Segunda División B in 1989, with immediate promotion, but also a La Liga season in 1993–94 after a 43-year absence (he only missed three matches and scored three goals, but the team went down again).[1][2][3][4]

At the end of the 1995–96 campaign, spent in the Segunda División, Rubio retired aged almost 35, with 530 competitive appearances to his credit. He would coach his favorite club on no fewer than four occasions – only one consecutive spell – being relegated to the third tier twice,[5] and also managed CF Reus Deportiu,[6] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, Atlético Monzón,[7] FC Ascó[8] and UD Fraga.[9]

Personal life

Rubio's son, Óscar, was also a footballer. Having been born in Catalonia whilst his father represented Lleida, he too played for that club amongst others.[10]
