Antonio Notario
Spanish footballer
Antonio Notario Caro (born 19 November 1972) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
In a 20-year senior career – he did not reach La Liga or Segunda División until the age of 27 – he made 121 top-flight appearances in five seasons, representing mainly Sevilla. He added 108 games in the second tier.
Club career
Notario was born in Mataró, Province of Barcelona, Catalonia. He played mostly with Andalusian clubs during his early career, beginning at Granada CF (two stints) then appearing for Valencia CF's reserves, Real Murcia CF, Polideportivo Almería and Guadix CF, all competing in the Segunda División B.
In summer 2000, Notario signed with Sevilla FC where he had his most successful spell, being promoted to La Liga in his first season and retaining first-choice status until 2005–06, with the arrival of Andrés Palop relegating him to the bench. He would, however, appear in eight matches in the side's victorious run in the UEFA Cup.
Notario achieved another top-flight promotion in 2006–07, having returned to Murcia 12 years after leaving. He also started most of the following campaign until new head coach Javier Clemente inserted Uruguayan Fabián Carini in his place, with the team being nonetheless relegated.
On 16 July 2008, Notario joined Segunda División's RC Celta de Vigo as a free agent. After a sole season – marred by disciplinary and contractual problems– the 36-year-old moved to Albacete Balompié in the same tier, agreeing to a one-year contract.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Antonio Notario”, the useful work is to connect “spanish footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q603878. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1972, 2000, 2005 and 2006.

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
