Francisco Javier 'Javi' García Guerrero (born 22 October 1976) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker. He amassed La Liga totals of 194 games and 48 goals over the course of seven seasons, mainly in the representation of Racing de Santander and Recreativo (three years apiece). He added 249/72 in Segunda División, in a professional career which lasted 18 years. ==Football career== Guerrero was born in Madrid. An unsuccessful youth graduate at Real Madrid he also had loan stints with Real Jaén and Terrassa FC – respectively in the second and third divisions – before being released in the 1999 summer, after which he signed with Albacete Balompié in the former category, scoring 20 league goals in two seasons combined. In the 2001–02 campaign Guerrero helped Racing de Santander achieve La Liga promotion, going on to establish as first-choice for the Cantabria club in the subsequent years and netting an average of 11 goals per season. For 2005–06 he joined Celta de Vigo, although he would appear sparingly as the Galician team qualified to the UEFA Cup. He moved in July 2006 to Recreativo de Huelva (initially on loan), making the move permanent for the 2007–08 season. On 18 May 2008, Guerrero's last-minute goal in a 1–1 home game against Real Valladolid helped the Andalusians retain their top flight status.〔(Recreativo Huelva 1–1 Valladolid ); ESPN Soccernet, 18 May 2008〕 After a weak 2008–09 campaign (only two goals, club relegation) the 32-year-old returned to the second level, signing a two-year deal with UD Las Palmas and being the Canary Islands side's top scorer in his first two seasons at 11 and 12 respectively.〔(Javi Guerrero recuperó su olfato goleador y la alegría (Javi Guerrero regained scoring touch and joy) ); Marca, 12 May 2010 〕〔(El último Guerrero (The last Guerrero ("Warrior" in Spanish)) ); Vavel, 19 December 2012 〕 In spite of still having one year left in his contract, Guerrero retired at the end of the 2012–13 season with Las Palmas still in division two, aged nearly 37. He remained attached to his last club, as a match scout.〔(´Me retiro como siempre soñé, sin arrastrarme por el terreno de juego´ (´I retire as i always dreamed of, without dragging myself on the pitch´) ); La Provincia, 21 June 2013 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Javi Guerrero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
