Club career
Manchón, son of a hard-working family from Murcia, joined Barcelona at the age of 16. He first played for the Catalan club SD España Industrial, which was the reserve team of Barcelona at the time. In the fifth round of the 1950–51 La Liga season, Manchón made his league debut for the first team against Valencia and also managed to score his first goal for the club.[3]
Together with László Kubala, César and Estanislau Basora, he formed one of the most dangerous front-lines in the club's history. In the 1951–52 season the club managed to win all five trophies (the Spanish Championship, the Spanish Cup, the Latin Cup, the Copa Eva Duarte, and the Trofeo Martini & Rossi).
After his time at Barça, he played for the first division side Granada CF during the 1957–58 season and later for Deportivo de La Coruña, Club Atlètic Ibèria and CE L'Hospitalet.
International career
Manchon made one appearance for the Spanish national team in his career. This was during a qualifying match for the 1954 FIFA World Cup, a 0–1 defeat against Turkey. He also represented the Catalonia national football team.[4]
Death
After a long illness Manchón died on 29 September 2010 at the age of 80.[2]
