Club career
Born into a family of bullfighters, in La Algaba on 26 March 1922, Bazán began his football career at Sevilla. Bazán picked up a meniscus injury whilst at Sevilla, halting his progress with the club.

On 5 January 1947, Bazán scored his first goal for Málaga, in his second game, scoring the winner in a 2–1 away win against Alcoyano.

On 4 January 1948, Bazán scored a triple hat-trick against Hércules in a 9–2 win.[2] Bazán finished the 1947–48 season with 29 goals in 26 Segunda División appearances. The following season, Bazán finished the campaign as top scorer, scoring five hat-tricks, as Málaga gained promotion to the Primera División.[3] On 15 March 1953, Bazán scored an 11-minute hat-trick against Real Madrid.[2]
