Playing Career
Born in Arteixo, Province of A Coruña, Iglesias started his career with local side Deportivo de La Coruña. He made his La Liga debut on 28 October 1951 in a 1–6 away loss against FC Barcelona, and scored in the following weekend against RCD Español (3–1 home win).
Iglesias netted seven goals in three separate seasons for the Galicians, adding a career-best eight in 1956–57, which nonetheless ended in relegation. In six of the following eight years he also competed in the top division, representing Sevilla FC, Granada CF and Real Oviedo; he amassed totals in the main category of 238 games and 50 goals, and retired at 35 after a spell in the lower leagues with Albacete Balompié.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“I’m fed up! Fed up playing Greek chorus to your rehearsed nightmare!”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
