Football career

Born in Cuenca, Castile-La Mancha, Rubio played exclusively for UE Lleida during his professional career. With the Catalans he experienced relegation to the third division in 1989, with immediate promotion back, 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).

At the end of the 1995–96 campaign, spent in the second level, Rubio retired aged almost 35, with more than 500 official appearances to his credit. He would coach his favorite club on no fewer than four occasions – only one consecutive spell – being relegated to division three twice,[1] and also managed CF Reus Deportiu,[2] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, Atlético Monzón,[3] FC Ascó[4] and UD Fraga.

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.[5]
