Club career

Born in Goizueta, Navarre, Bakero represented Palencia CF and Hércules CF in Segunda División.[2] He played his first match in the competition while in service of the former club on 2 September 1979 in a 1–1 home draw against Algeciras CF,[3] and scored his first goal the following 20 January to close a 2–2 away draw with Recreativo de Huelva.[4]

Bakero signed with Hércules in early 1983, achieving promotion to La Liga at the end of his first full season and remaining there a further two years.[5][6] His debut took place on 2 September 1984, in a 1–0 win at Real Zaragoza where he played the full 90 minutes.[7]

In late 1986, Bakero joined Real Sociedad, being often deployed as a right-back and sharing teams with his younger sibling José Mari.[8] He contributed 13 league appearances during the campaign, as the side won the Copa del Rey (three matches from the player, including the 10–1 trouncing of Mallorca Atlético in the quarter-finals).[9][10]

Bakero retired at the age of 31.[11]

Personal life

Bakero's brothers José Mari and Jon were also footballers, and forwards. His nephew, also named Jon, was also involved in the sport.[12][13][14]
