Vicente Piquer Mora (24 February 1935 – 1 March 2018) was a Spanish football right back and manager.
He played 341 competitive matches with Valencia, in a 12-year professional career.
Born in Algar de Palancia, Valencian Community, Piquer finished his development at local club Valencia CF. He started playing as a senior with the reserves in Segunda División and, on 24 February 1957, he made his La Liga debut for the first team in a 2–3 away loss against FC Barcelona.[1] He scored his first goal in the latter competition in the next fixture, as the hosts beat Real Sociedad, 3–2;[2] he added six appearances in the Copa del Generalísimo to help the side reach the semi-finals.
In the following years, Piquer was a regular for the Che, notably starting in all 18 games as they won consecutive editions of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[3] [4] During his spell, he earned a reputation for his man-marking of Real Madrid's Francisco Gento.[5]
Piquer retired in 1968 at the age of 33, following two years in the second level with CD Málaga and one with amateurs SD Sueca. He then worked as a manager, almost exclusively in the lower leagues and in his native region.[5]
Piquer won one cap for Spain, during a 1–1 friendly draw to France played in Paris on 10 December 1961.[6]
Piquer died in his hometown on 1 March 2018 at 83, following a long illness.[5] [7]
