Club career

edit

The son of a former FC Mulhouse player, also called Néstor and also a striker, Subiat was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and started his career precisely at the French club, as a defender but already showing scoring abilities, which prompted a move up front.[1][2]

After a loan at RC Strasbourg Alsace, Subiat played until 1992 at Mulhouse, scoring a further 25 goals combined as both seasons were spent in Ligue 2. He then moved to Switzerland for the following six years, scoring aplenty for AC Lugano, Grasshopper Club Zürich – even though he only played regularly in his first year – and FC Basel and winning three national championships with the second team.[1]

Subiat joined FC Basel's first team on loan for the first half of their 1997–98 season under head coach Jörg Berger. Subiat played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob Stadium on 28 September 1997 as Basel were defeated 0–1 by Lausanne-Sport.[3] He scored his first goal for the club one week later, on 5 October, in the away game against Étoile Carouge, but this could not help the team, as Basel were defeated 1–2.[4] Subiat scored a hat-trick for Basel in their Swiss Cup fifth round match against SC Buochs as Basel won 7–2 after extra time on 15 November.[5] During his short period with the club, Subiat played a total of eight games for Basel scoring a total of seven goals. Seven of these games were in the Nationalliga A and one in the Swiss Cup. He scored four goals in the domestic league and the other three were scored in the above mentioned cup game. He then returned to GC for the second half of the season.[6]

In the last four years of his career, Subiat appeared sparingly at professional level in both countries, with AS Saint-Étienne, Étoile Carouge FC and FC Lucerne, retiring in 2002 with amateurs SC Orange (France).

International career

edit

Subiat chose to represent Switzerland internationally, his first cap coming in 1994. He participated at that year's FIFA World Cup, appearing as a substitute in three scoreless games.[1]

In total, Subiat scored six times in 15 matches over a two-year period.[2]
