Lucas Parra Marín (born 27 December 1990) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[2]
Club career[edit]
Born in Silla in the Valencian Community of Spain, Parra began his career with La Liga side Valencia, but left in 2008, spending a season apiece with Real Murcia and Buñol.[1] He competed in the 2010 edition of Football Cracks, a Spanish reality TV show dedicated to finding young footballing talent from around the world, sponsored by both Zinedine Zidane and Enzo Francescoli, and hosted by Nico Abad.[3] Parra did not get along with his teammates while on the show, and criticised one of the coaches, Germán Burgos, before being voted off towards the end of the show.[4] Having spoken with Zinedine Zidane about the situation, he apologised to Burgos.[4]
On his return to semi-professional football, he joined Silla in the Preferente Valenciana.[1] After ten years with the club, he scored a goal in a 1–1 draw with Alzira on 23 December 2020, his second goal for the club, following another equaliser in a 2–2 draw with Atlético Saguntino almost a year earlier, on 15 December 2019.[5] The following season he returned to Buñol, though he did not make any appearances in the first half of the 2021–22 season, before moving to Patacona, playing in both promotion playoff games to help them earn promotion to the Tercera Federación.[6][7]
