Juan Zambudio Velasco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Velasco, full name Juan Zambudio Velasco, (born 1921 in La Alquería, Murcia and dead 21 January of 2004 in Barcelona) was a Spanish football (soccer) goalkeeper, who played for Mollet and FC Barcelona. He retired playing in CE Sabadell.
He was contracted by FC Barcelona in 1942, when he was 21. He used to play wearing a cap, because the winter matches were scheduled at 3 p.m., in order to use natural light. He was the official goalkeeper of FC Barcelona until he got injured in his eyes. When he was recovered, his place in the goal was strongly held by Ramallets, and he never got back to the main place.
In 1954 he left FC Barcelona to play in CE Sabadell, where he retired one season later. After retiring, he worked as the CE Sabadell coach.
He never played with the Spanish selection officially.
