Antonio Aparicio Perales (10 September 1913) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder for Valencia CF and CD Castellón.
[1] In the summer of 1933 he was tried out by Sevilla FC, but Valencia, criticized by the local press for letting an Andalusian club take one of the pearls of Valencian football, moved quickly and signed him before the Seville team could make you an offer.
[1] Against all odds, Jack Greenwell barely gave him any opportunities, and apart from six friendlies, he only played one official match in the First Division against an ultra-defensive Arenas club de Getxo, in a match that ended goalless and with half the stands yawning despite Aparicio's speed and overflow, with good dribbling and capable of delivering measured crosses into the area.
[1] Antonio settled in the Alicante club, remaining there until 1941, including the period of the Spanish Civil War, except for a brief return to Valencia to participate with the Mestalla team in two matches in the Mediterranean League.
[1] In the summer of 1946 he announced his retirement as a professional footballer at the age of thirty-two, after having defended the Granada shirt on 47 occasions.
