[3] He began his career with local club CD San Andrés (now UE Sant Andreu) before joining Valencia CF in 1951.
In his first season, he scored twice in a run to the 1952 Copa del Generalísimo final, which his team lost 4–2 to CF Barcelona after extra time.
[4] In the 1954–55 La Liga, Buqué recorded a top-flight career-best of 10 goals in 25 games, including a hat-trick in a 4–1 home win over Barcelona on 17 October.
[2] After the game, he surprised journalists from Mundo Deportivo by saying that Real Madrid had benefitted from injuries to their own stars Amancio and Ramón Grosso, as this allowed Pirri to withdraw from an ineffectual centre forward position into the midfield.
[9] Valencia's board had already agreed to replace Buqué and Artigas with Alfredo Di Stéfano for the new season, shocking the pair who had believed that their results would keep them in their job.
[1] Buqué was made director of football at Segunda División club Sevilla FC in July 1973, with Austrian Ernst Happel as manager.
