Óscar Luis Celada (born 9 March 1966), simply Óscar, is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder.
Born in Luarca, Asturias, Óscar arrived at local giants Sporting de Gijón in 1985, but had to wait three years for his first opportunities with the main squad. His best year came in 1993–94, has he started in all his 26 appearances (21 matches complete), while the club maintained its La Liga status.
In 1994, Óscar moved to Real Zaragoza, helping the Aragonese to the season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - he did not leave the bench in the final - but he was mainly a fringe player during his three-year spell.
In his final four years, Óscar played two seasons apiece with UD Las Palmas and Universidad de Las Palmas CF, retiring in June 2001 at 35. After obtaining his degree in medicine, he returned to Zaragoza as chief doctor.[1]
