Playing career

Born in Marín, Pontevedra, Galicia, Bastón began his career with Atlético Madrid, appearing for their reserve side in the Segunda División. His opportunities were limited due to the presence of Eduardo Belza, Ángel Mejías and Abel Resino, and he signed with Real Burgos in 1984, where in the 1989–90 season he won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1990/05/30/pagina-26/1218604/pdf.html|title=Triunfo cómodo de Bastón|trans-title=Easy win for Bastón|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Eduard|last=Muntané|language=es|date=30 May 1990|access-date=21 April 2015}}{{cite news|url=http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/deportivo/2013/09/03/baston-vuelve-riazor/0003_201309G3P35991.htm|title=Bastón vuelve a Riazor|trans-title=Bastón returns to Riazor|newspaper=La Voz de Galicia|first=Pedro|last=Barreiros|language=es|date=3 September 2013|access-date=20 April 2015}} and helped his team to gain promotion to La Liga as champions.{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1990/05/28/pagina-20/1227905/pdf.html|title=El Burgos ganó por los pelos|trans-title=Burgos won at the buzzer|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=José María|last=Medrano|language=es|date=28 May 1990|access-date=21 April 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.canal54.es/30-anos-del-ascenso-a-primera/|title=30 años del ascenso a Primera|trans-title=30th anniversary of promotion to Primera|publisher=Canal 54|language=es|date=6 May 2020|access-date=20 January 2025}}
