Football career

Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, Blanco only started playing organized football at the age of 21, with CD Aurrerá de Vitoria in Segunda División B. He spent the better part of his career in that level, also representing UD Lanzarote, CD Recreación de La Rioja, CF Palencia and CD Mirandés.[1]

Blanco appeared in 27 games (all starts) in his first season with the latter club, helping it promote to Segunda División for the first time ever. He added six matches and two goals in the side's semi-final run in the Copa del Rey.[2]

On 17 August 2012, at the age of 35 years and five months, Blanco played his first match as a professional, in a 0–1 home loss against SD Huesca.[3] He scored his first goal in division two on 1 September, contributing to a 4–0 win at Xerez CD.[4]

Blanco left the club in June 2013, and joined third-tier team SD Amorebieta shortly after. He retired aged 39, following 89 competitive appearances.
