Francisco Nicolás Veza Fragoso (born 6 December 1970), known as Paqui, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back.
He was part of Spain's gold medal-winning squad at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, and played professionally for six clubs during 16 years, mainly Tenerife and Las Palmas.
Football career
Paqui was born in Alicante, Valencia. An unsuccessful FC Barcelona youth graduate (only played for the Catalans' B-team) he went on to represent CD Tenerife, Real Zaragoza, Hércules CF and UD Las Palmas; he was instrumental in the latter's 2000 return to La Liga, and also served a loan to fellow top-divisioner CA Osasuna whilst under contract.
Paqui retired from the game in June 2004 after Las Palmas' relegation into the third division, totalling 221 matches and two goals in the main category of Spanish football.
