June 4 1973 inManresa ,Catalonia ), is a retired Spanish footballer, who played mostly as a winger, with stints atRCD Espanyol andAtlético de Madrid .A skilled and pacy offensive player with netting ability, Lardín debuted with local
RCD Espanyol 's first team during 1992-93 (Espanyol would be relegated), and went on to become an essential figure with theCatalonia outfit. From 1994-96, as the club reached theUEFA Cup in one season, narrowly missing on another, Lardín netted 29 goals in 76 league games, under the guidance ofJosé Antonio Camacho .In 1997-98, Lardín signed with
Atlético de Madrid for 1.5 million "pesetas ", but would only appear significantly throughout his first season. A seriouscar accident inOctober 1997 [ [http://www.elmundo.es/1997/10/08/deportes/08N0099.html Footballer Lardín survives spectacular car accident in route N-II] es icon] would not prevent his national team debut one month later (a 1-1 friendly match against Romania, inPalma de Mallorca ).After unassuming loan stints with old team Espanyol and "
Segunda División "Xerez CD , Lardín retired from football at age 29. He made a tentative comeback two years later with modestCD Leganés .Lardín also appeared for the Spain at the
1996 Summer Olympics .References
