Francisco Javier Casquero Paredes (born 11 March 1976) is a Spanish retired professional footballer. He played usually as a central midfielder.
Over the course of 11 seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 322 games and 43 goals, mainly with Getafe (six years) and Sevilla (four).
Born in Talavera de la Reina, Province of Toledo, Casquero starting playing professionally with local CD Toledo in the second division, also being loaned for six months to lowly Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.
He then spent one season with Atlético Madrid B, where his consistent performances were not enough for the Colchoneros reserves' second level status preservation.
In the following season, Casquero joined Sevilla FC in the same tier, and with four goals in 38 games he helped the Andalusians achieve promotion after a one-year absence, making his La Liga debut on 26 August 2001 in a 1–2 home loss against FC Barcelona. He would score seven goals in his first top flight campaign.
Known for his powerful shot, Casquero went on to become one of Sevilla's most effective players, helping in the team's top level consolidation, with two sixth-places from 2003 to 2005 (although he appeared scarcely in the second). After that, he was deemed surplus to requirements and joined Racing de Santander, where he played one season in the top division.
