Pascual Parra
Spanish football player/director
Pascual Luna Parra (born 22 February 1963) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He played in 236 La Liga games over the course of ten seasons, mainly in representation of Hércules - being one of the players with more official matches in the club's history - and Mallorca.
Club career
Parra was born in Biar, Province of Alicante. A product of local Hércules CF's youth system, he made his first-team - and La Liga - debuts at only 17, his first appearance being on 6 September 1980 in a 1–2 away loss against RCD Español. In his first two seasons combined he played in 23 games with the main squad, being relegated in 1981–82.
After experiencing both one promotion and relegation with the Valencian, Parra signed for Real Murcia in the top flight, being an undisputed starter during his two-season stint (more than 3,000 minutes of action in each). Subsequently, in the 1988 summer, he joined RCD Mallorca in Segunda División, appearing and starting in 25 games in his first season as the club returned to the main category.
Parra helped the Balearic Islands outfit reach the final of the 1991 Copa del Rey, playing the entire final against Atlético Madrid (0–1 extra time loss). A mere months into the 1991–92 season, he left the club and returned to Hércules, in Segunda División B, helping to promotion in his first full campaign.
Parra only featured in six games in 1995–96 as the Herculanos returned to the top division after a ten-year absence.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pascual Parra”, the useful work is to connect “spanish football player/director” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 1, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q7141865. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1963, 1980, 1981 and 1988.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
