Juan de Cárcer y Disdier (1892 in Málaga – October 1962 in Madrid) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper[2] and was also a referee,[3] and manager.
[4] Born in Málaga, he moved to Madrid as a child where he began to play football in 1907.
He joined the ranks of Club Español de Madrid in 1910, with whom he played sporadically for two seasons, featuring alongside the likes of José María Castell and Gómar.
[5] Like many other Madrid players of that time, he was summoned to play for the 'Centro' (Madrid area) representative team, and in May 1916, he was a member of the team that participated in the second edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup in 1916, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.
[6] In the opening game against Catalonia he conceded 6 goals as Madrid lost 3–6 to their rivals,[7] an event that not only prompted his dismissal from Real Madrid in that same year, it also cost him his place to the team's backup goalkeeper, Joaquín Pascual, who started in the second leg against Catalonia in a 2–2 draw.
