[edit] Biography

Cañizares started his club career with Real Madrid in 1988, playing initially with Real Madrid B. He then played with Mérida UD and Celta Vigo, before coming back to Real Madrid in 1994. Unable to cement a starting place, Cañizares moved to Valencia in 1998 to replace the retired Andoni Zubizarreta, and has remained there since. He helped the club to consecutive Champions League finals in 2000 and 2001 and La Liga titles in 2002 and 2004.

[edit] National Team

Cañizares has been capped 46 times for Spain since 1993. However, he is often the second-choice keeper, and only played five matches in the major international scene: one in the 1994 World Cup, three in Euro 2000 (the only tournament where he was the first choice keeper) and one in the 2006 World Cup. He was a squad member at Euro 96, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2004, and the 2006 World Cup but didn't play behind Andoni Zubizarreta in the 1990s and Íker Casillas in 2004. Cañizares was a first choice in the gold winning squad at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He was assingned for the 2002 World Cup, but broke his foot by dropping a bottle of aftershave on it.

His club form ensured himself as first choice international in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but he missed out on the tournament due to an accident with an aftershave bottle which resulted in a severed tendon in his foot. Since then, Íker Casillas has been the first choice for Spain.

Peter Schmeichel has rated Cañizares as the finest in world football. [1].
