Manuel Gaspar Haro
Manuel 'Manolo' Gaspar Haro is a Spanish former footballer who played as a right back. His main asset was a long throw-in delivery.Club career
Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Gaspar started playing professionally with hometown Málaga CF's reserves, then spent two Segunda División seasons with another team in the region, UD Almería, being named 2005–06's best right-back whilst at the service of the latter.
For 2006–07, upon Levante UD's return to La Liga, Gaspar signed with the Valencian Community side, appearing scarcely in two seasons and facing relegation in his second, with the club immersed in a precarious financial situation.
In July 2008, Gaspar returned to Málaga, being pretty much absent of the lineups during the most part of the campaign but being heavily used in the final months. He again appeared regularly in 2009–10, mainly due to injuries to teammates; however, on 3 April 2010, it was announced that he would miss the rest of the season because of an inflamed appendix, which was successfully operated and removed.
Gaspar continued to be used exclusively as a backup in 2010–11, by both Jesualdo Ferreira and his successor Manuel Pellegrini. On 4 July 2011, aged 30, he left Málaga and returned to the second level, joining FC Cartagena.
Following an unassuming spell in the Cypriot First Division, Gaspar signed with CD El Palo from Segunda División B. In 2014, still as an active player, he returned to Málaga in directorial capacities.
