Template:Spanish name 2 Antonio Biosca Pérez (born 8 December 1949) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defender.

He appeared in 219 La Liga games over the course of ten seasons (eight goals), with Betis, and represented Spain at the 1978 World Cup.

Club career

Born in Almería, Andalusia, Biosca made his senior debuts in 1970–71 in Segunda División, appearing rarely for CD Calvo Sotelo in a relegation-ending season. In the following summer, he moved to La Liga with Real Betis, making his debut in the competition on 28 November 1971 in a 1–3 away loss against Córdoba CF, finishing his first year with 17 games played (15 starts), and being relegated in the following campaign.

From 1974–78, Biosca never featured in less than 30 league games for the Verdiblancos, winning the 1977 Copa del Rey but also suffering relegation the following year. He retired in June 1983 at nearly 34, and settled in Seville, losing all connection to the football world.

Biosca earned three caps for Spain in 1978, and represented his country at that year's FIFA World Cup. His debut came on 26 April in a friendly with Mexico in Granada.

In the final stages in Argentina, Biosca appeared in two games with the national team conceding no goals, albeit in a group stage exit.
