Landing at Spanish club Espanyol on 29 August 1935, Green was the first Welshman to have played in Spain at the time, making his debut in a 1–1 tie with CF Badalona in the Catalonia Championship and showing good touches of the ball. It was in a 3–0 victory over Osasuna that the defender-cum-midfielder delivered his first goal, leaving to London where he planned to marry, take a vacation, and return to Spain; but, on account of the Spanish Civil War, he never went back to the country.[1]
Internationaledit
He played his first match on 16 March 1938 against Ireland and his last match on 21 May 1939 against France.[2]
