Who was he? Francisco 'Paco' Camarasa (Rafelbunyol, Valencia, 27/09/1967) was a Spanish central defender who wore the colours of Valencia CF in the Liga BBVA for twelve seasons and played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup for Spain. 

What is he remembered for? Camarasa is a legend at Valencia. Wearing the number 4 shirt, the son of Vicente Camarasa, ex-player and captain of Levante UD, played more than 260 games with the ché in the Liga BBVA. In his entire career, Paco Camarasa scored seven goals and he was part of the team that lifted the Copa del Rey and the Intertoto Cup in the 1998/99 season.
