Biography
Andrés Calero was born on 16 October 1906 in Erandio, Biscay. He began playing football in 1925 in his hometown club CD Acero, where he stood out as a forward. His good performance eventually drew the attention of Athletic Bilbao, who signed him in the summer of 1927, making his debut against Barakaldo CF on 2 October, which ended in a 2–3 loss. In total, he scored 14 goals in 25 official matches for Bilbao. In 1929, he joined Deportivo Alavés, then in the Segunda División, where together with the likes of Manuel Olivares, Luis Urquiri, and Jacinto Quincoces under coach Francisco Baonza, he was part of the Alavés side that won league and achieved promotion to La Liga, which had just been founded in 1929. Before leaving Alavés, he still played two leagues matches for them in the first division.

In 1930, Calero was signed by Arenas de Getxo, with whom he played for two seasons, with the highlight of his stint there coming on 4 January 1931, when he scored once to help his side to a historic 5–0 trashing of FC Barcelona. Later that year, on 29 November 1931, he again netted once against Barcelona, this time at Les Corts to help his side to a 2–2 draw. In total, Calero scored 15 goals in 36 matches in La Liga for Bilbao, Alavés, and Arenas.

Calero spent the rest of his career in the Segunda División, playing for the likes of CD Logroño (1932–34), Levante UD (1934–36), and Gimnástico FC.
