Club career
Born in Sueca, Valencia, Puchades played solely for Valencia CF during his career, signing in 1945 and going on to spend 12 seasons in La Liga.[1] In his first season with the first team, however, he appeared in only four games as the club won the national championship,[2] becoming a regular from then onwards.[3][4][5]
Puchades retired from football in 1958 at the age of 33, being awarded a testimonial match the following year against OGC Nice.[6] He subsequently lost all connection to the football world, going on to work in family businesses.[7]
International career
Puchades won 23 caps for Spain over five years. He was a member of the 1950 FIFA World Cup squad, appearing in all six games as the nation finished fourth in Brazil.[7]
Death
Puchades, affectionally known as Tonico, died in his hometown of Sueca on 24 May 2013, two weeks shy of his 88th birthday.[8][9]
