'''Néstor Gabriel Subiat''' (born 23 April 1966) is a Swiss former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]].

He never played professionally in his country, representing several clubs in France and Switzerland and appearing with [[Switzerland national football team|the latter national team]] at the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 World Cup]].

==Club career==
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 (association football)|defender]] but already showing scoring abilities, which prompted a move up front.<ref name=RTS>{{cite web|url=http://www.rts.ch/sport/football/international/equipe-suisse/1333506-suissepaysbas-avec-nestor-subiat-notre-consultant-tsr.html|title=Suisse-Pays-Bas avec Nestor Subiat, notre consultant TSR|trans-title=Switzerland-Netherlands with Nestor Subiat, our TSR pundit|publisher=[[Radio Télévision Suisse]]|language=French|date=21 August 2007|access-date=7 July 2017}}</ref><ref name=MATIN>{{cite news|url=http://www.lematin.ch/CM2014/la_nati/Subiat-C-est-le-pire-qui-pouvait-marriver/story/31700405|title=Subiat: "C'est le pire qui pouvait m'arriver"|trans-title=Subiat: «It’s the worst that could happen to me»|newspaper=[[Le Matin (Switzerland)|Le Matin]]|language=French|date=30 June 2014|access-date=7 July 2017}}</ref>

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 [[1994–95 Nationalliga A|his first year]] – and [[FC Basel]] and winning three [[Swiss Super League|national championships]] with the second team.<ref name=RTS/>

Subiat joined [[FC Basel]]'s first team on loan for the first half of their [[1997–98 FC Basel season|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 [[FC Lausanne-Sport|Lausanne-Sport]].<ref name="fcb-achiv-1997/98-Q-FCB-LS">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | date = 28 September 1997 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=10872 | title = FC Basel - FC Lausanne-Sport 0:1 (0:1) | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | accessdate = 2021-11-16}}</ref> He scored his first goal for the club one week later, on 5 October, in the away game against [[Étoile Carouge FC|Étoile Carouge]], but this could not help the team, as Basel were defeated 1–2.<ref name="fcb-achiv-1997/98-Q-Étoile-FCB">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | date = 5 October 1997 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=10873 | title = Etoile Carouge FC - FC Basel 2:1 (0:1) | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | accessdate = 2021-11-16}}</ref> 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.<ref name="fcb-achiv-">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | date = 15 November 1997 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=10858 | title = SC Buochs - FC Basel 2:7 n.V.

He then returned to GC for the second half of the season.<ref name="fcb-achiv-Néstor Subiat">{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | year = 2002 | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/spieler?command=detail&id=1019 | title = Néstor Subiat -FCB statistic | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | accessdate = 2021-11-16}}</ref>
