He amassed La Liga totals of 345 matches and 21 goals during 11 seasons, almost exclusively with Osasuna.[1]
Bustingorri was born in Zulueta, Navarre. Safe for one year with Atlético Madrid[2] he played his entire professional career with local giants CA Osasuna, making his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 23 January 1983 in a 1–1 away draw against Valencia CF.[3]
From 1984–85 onwards, Bustingorri was the club's undisputed first-choice, scoring a career-best five goals in 40 games (all starts) in 1986–87 in an eventual narrow escape from relegation. After returning from the Colchoneros in 1989, he retained its starting position: on 26 May 1991 he scored one of his two goals in the season in a 1–0 away win against RCD Español,[4] as Osasuna finished a best-ever fourth and qualified for the second time in its history to the UEFA Cup; for his efforts during that campaign, he was named best left back in the league by Mundo Deportivo.[5]
Bustingorri left Osasuna midway through 1994–95, with the team now in Segunda División. He went on play three years with neighbouring amateurs CD Izarra, being the player with the second-most matches played in the top flight for the former.
Bustingorri played for Spain at two youth levels, and participated at the 1986 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[6] as the national team finished as champions.
