Manuel 'Manolo' Gaspar Haro (born 3 February 1981) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right back. His main asset is a long throw-in delivery.
Club career
Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Gaspar started playing professionally with hometown Málaga CF's reserves, then spent two second division seasons with another team in the region, UD Almería, being named 2005–06's best right-back whilst at the service of the latter.
For 2006–07, upon Levante UD's return to La Liga, Gaspar signed with the Valencian Community side, appearing scarcely in two seasons and facing relegation in his second, with the club immersed in a precarious financial situation.
In July 2008, Gaspar returned to Málaga: pretty much absent of the lineups during the most part of the campaign, he was heavily used in the final months. In 2009–10 he again appeared regularly, mainly due to injuries to teammates; however, on 3 April 2010, it was announced that he would miss the rest of the season because of an inflamed appendix, which was successfully operated and removed.
Gaspar continued to be used exclusively as a backup in 2010–11, by both Jesualdo Ferreira and his successor Manuel Pellegrini. In mid-June 2011, aged 30, he left Málaga and returned to the second level, joining FC Cartagena.
