Sebastián Alabanda Fernández (31 October 1950 – 10 June 2014) was a Spanish professional footballer who played as a midfielder. [1]
Born in Posadas, Province of Córdoba, Alabanda spent his first eight seasons as a senior with Real Betis, [2] except for a short loan at Rayo Vallecano. [3] [4] With the former club, he made his debut in La Liga on 7 September 1974, starting in a 3–1 away loss against UD Las Palmas. [5] [1]
In 1976–77, Alabanda contributed 20 games to help the Andalusians finish fifth whilst winning the Copa del Rey, a penalty shootout win over Athletic Bilbao where he missed his attempt after a 2–2 regulation time draw. [6] At the end of the following campaign, however, they suffered relegation to the Segunda División. [7]
After leaving Betis in June 1980, with competitive totals of 229 matches and 19 goals, [8] Alabanda signed with fellow top-flight team Real Murcia. [9] He scored three goals in his first year, [10] [11] [12] but could not help prevent relegation. [13]
Alabanda earned one cap for Spain: on 24 April, he came on as a late substitute in a 1–1 friendly draw with West Germany in Madrid. [14]
After retiring, Alabanda worked in banking. On 29 May 2014, he returned to Betis as a counsellor, but died in his home in Seville on 10 June, at the age of 63. [8] [15]
