*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Francisco "Fran" Javier Yeste Navarro (born 6 December 1979) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or a left winger, and is a manager.

He spent 11 years of his professional career with Athletic Bilbao (19 counting the youth system), appearing in 353 official matches and scoring 59 goals.[1]

Club career

Athletic Bilbao

Born in Basauri, Biscay, and a product of Athletic Bilbao's youth ranks at Lezama, Yeste made his first-team debut on 7 February 1999, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against Racing de Santander.[2] He would appear in a further 13 games that and the following seasons combined, while mainly registered with the reserves.

From the 2000–01 campaign onwards, Yeste was used regularly in the main squad, scoring six La Liga goals during that season, including two in a 4–0 home win over Real Oviedo on 10 December 2000.[3] After regular displays in 2003–04 he won a callup for Spain, although he did not make his debut;[4][5] he netted a career-best 11 goals in the season, with the Basques finishing fifth and qualifying to the UEFA Cup.

At times troubled with injuries, Yeste continued to appear prominently, playing all the league matches in 2006–07 as Athletic barely avoided relegation (17th) and scoring five goals in the process. A player of volatile temperament,[6][7] he was also sent off five times from 2007 to 2009 and added 14 yellow cards,[8] one of the ejections occurring after he pushed Real Madrid's Iker Casillas in a 2–5 home loss.[9]

Yeste featured irregularly in the 2009–10 season, also being ousted by manager Joaquín Caparrós for more than one month.[10] In the first match upon his return, a 0–2 loss at Atlético Madrid on 25 March 2010, he was booked; on 21 May, after his contract expired, he announced his departure from the club through his agent.[11]

United Arab Emirates

On 19 June 2010, Yeste agreed to a two-year deal with Al Wasl FC.[12] In March of the following year, during the 2010–11 Etisalat Emirates Cup semi-final against Al Ain FC, the opponents took the lead before the 50th minute (49:27) and, as they were still celebrating, he shot from the centre circle to score a goal that was described by Dutch news site Voetbal Stijl as "The fastest equalizer in the history of football" (49:54).[13]

There was controversy surrounding the legality of the goal, as Yeste shot the ball directly without having the ball passed from the centre circle, whilst another player was inside it, but it was later confirmed as valid, as the ball hit the ground just before crossing the goal line, and the other player inside the circle was from Al Ain.[14]

Later years

In July 2011, Yeste signed with Greek champions Olympiacos FC, reuniting with former Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde. On 17 January 2012, his contract was mutually terminated;[15] the following day, he returned to the United Arab Emirates and joined Baniyas SC for six months.[16]
