Francisco "Fran" Javier Yeste Navarro (born 6 December 1979) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or a left winger, and is a manager.

[1] Born in Basauri, Biscay, and a product of Athletic Bilbao's youth academy at Lezama, Yeste made his first-team debut on 7 February 1999, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against Racing Santander.

[3] After regular displays in 2003–04 he won a callup for Spain, although he did not make his debut;[4][5] he scored a career-best eleven goals in the latter campaign, with the Basques finishing fifth and qualifying to the UEFA Cup.

At times troubled with injuries, Yeste continued to appear prominently, playing all the league matches in 2006–07 as Athletic barely avoided relegation (17th) and scoring five goals in the process.

[13] In March of the following year, during the 2010–11 Etisalat Emirates Cup semi-final against Al Ain, the opponents took the lead before the 50th minute (49:27) and, as they were still celebrating, he shot from the centre circle to score a goal that was described by Dutch news site Voetbal Stijl as "The fastest equalizer in the history of football" (49:54).
