Born in Guardo, Province of Palencia, Landáburu made his professional debut at only 17 with Real Valladolid. He quickly made an impression with the Segunda División club, his skills, field vision and set piece ability standing out alike.[1][2]
Landáburu first appeared in La Liga with Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano, in the 1977–78 campaign. He contributed heavily as the modest team consecutively retained their top-flight status, following which he signed for league powerhouse FC Barcelona.[2]
Landáburu won his first piece of silverware with the Catalans in 1981, the Copa del Rey.[3] After two good seasons, he struggled immensely in his last as Barça hired a new manager, German Udo Lattek.[1]
In summer 1982, Landáburu joined Atlético Madrid, being first-choice throughout his tenure (288 competitive appearances).[4] At the end of 1987–88, however, mainly due to serious personal problems with elusive club chairman Jesús Gil,[5] he chose to retire at the age of 33; still an active player, he majored in physics.[2]
On 23 January 1980, Landáburu won his only cap for Spain, featuring the second half of a 1–0 friendly win over the Netherlands in Vigo.[6]
