1969

Sandaza made his debut for the club, coming on for Glenn Murray in the 69th minute, in a 2–0 win over Plymouth Argyle.

A few weeks later, Sandaza scored his first goal, a winning goal in a 2–1 win over Oldham Athletic.

In the FA Cup campaign, Sandaza scored two goals in two consecutive games, in separate round victories against United of Manchester and Portsmouth.

1984

Francisco "Fran" José Sandaza Asensio (born 30 November 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Extremadura.

He achieved Segunda División totals of 127 games and 34 goals for Lugo, Girona and Alcorcón, but spent most of his career abroad.

He represented Dundee United, St Johnstone and Rangers in Scotland, in addition to brief spells in England, Qatar, Japan, China and India.

2002

Sandaza joined Valencia in 2002 and played in the Primera División outfit's reserve team.

Before, Sandaza played on loan in UD Puçol in the Tercera División (his coach that year in UD Puçol was Luis Milla).

He considered leaving full-time football to become a police officer.

Sandaza is also good friend with Valencia's teammate and now Barcelona player Jordi Alba, during his time at Valencia B.

2008

On 11 July 2008, Sandaza instead signed for Scottish Premier League side Dundee United, making his league début exactly a month later.

After scoring three goals in pre-season, he scored his first competitive goal for the club in the 1–1 draw against Celtic on 17 August 2008.

In September, Sandaza scored his second and netted four times in the first half of November, including a double against eventual champions, Rangers.

Injury halted Sandaza's progress towards the end of the year and he didn't score again until late February, scoring three more times in March.

In his first season in Scotland, Sandaza scored ten league goals, with five coming against the Old Firm.

2009

A groin injury prevented Sandaza from starting the 2009–10 season, with a November operation likely to see him return by the end of 2009.

2010

Hernia problems restricted his appearances during the season, and he was struggling to get into the United first team so in August 2010 was allowed to go on trial with Swansea City.

Sandaza was eventually released by United on 31 August, allowing him to sign for another club as a free agent after the closure of the transfer window.

During his time at Dundee United, Sandaza earned a nickname "Braveheart" by the club's supporters.

Sandaza signed for Brighton & Hove Albion under their new manager Gus Poyet.

2011

Two months later, on 22 February 2011, he scored again, but this time it's against Plymouth (the team he made his debut against).

However, his time at Brighton was limited after his first team was he was surplus to requirements, due to goalscoring form of Ashley Barnes and Glenn Murray.

At the end of the season, the club would get promoted to the Championship.

In May 2011 the club announced that he would be released at the end of the season following the ending of his current contract, along with five other players.

On 25 July 2011, Sandaza signed a one-year deal with St Johnstone.

Sandaza scored 12 goals in his first 17 appearances for St Johnstone, which prompted the club to offer him an extended contract.

Due to his goalscoring form for St Johnstone, Rangers made a pre-contract offer for Sandaza as his contract was set to expire at the end of the season.

Sandaza eventually rejected Rangers' offers, claiming he did not want to be a 'cheap' option.

Following his decision to reject the move, the Glasgow club entered administration, leading Sandaza to say he was relieved to have turned down a pre-contract deal, while acknowledging his sympathy for Rangers' plight.

Sandaza became a free agent after announcing he was leaving the club.

"'It was really disappointing and not the way I wanted to say goodbye. We had a couple of chances in the first-half and I had one later. My dad saw it on television in Spain and said my goal was onside and should have counted.It was my last game for St Johnstone and I wanted to say goodbye with a goal. It has been a very successful year for myself and for the club. When I came here the objective was to get into the top six and we have done that. Derek McInnnes and Steve Lomas are both good managers and I am grateful to them for giving me my chance. I also want to thank the club and the supporters. I will always love the club and who knows, maybe I will come back one day. Never say never.'"

2012

On 7 August 2012, Sandaza signed a three-year deal with Rangers, who had to start life again in the Scottish Third Division after administration and then subsequent liquidation.

On 18 August, Sandaza scored his first Rangers goal and provided a double assist in front of a 49,118 crowd at Ibrox, as Rangers won 5–1 against East Stirlingshire.

On 20 January, Sandaza scored his second Rangers goal away to Peterhead to give the light blues a 1–0 victory.

In September, Sandaza soon suffered an injury on a cheekbone and was taken to hospital for an X-ray after clashed heads with Motherwell's Shaun Hutchinson in the Scottish League Cup, which Rangers won 2–0.

His injury was estimated to rule him out for eight weeks, with possibilities of being out for the rest of the year.

In December 2012, Sandaza alleged to Spanish newspaper Diario AS that Rangers – a club with a strong Protestant identity – had told him to stop making the Catholic sign of the cross.

The club denied these allegations, pointing out that former club icons Lorenzo Amoruso and Shota Arveladze crossed themselves regularly.

2013

In March 2013, Sandaza was duped into discussing a possible transfer from Rangers to the Major League Soccer by a hoax telephone caller posing as a football agent.

The caller was a supporter of Rangers' rival Celtic FC.
