Antonio Sánchez de la Calle, known as Calle (born 14 October 1978 in Madrid), is a Spanish footballer who plays for Albacete Balompié in the Spanish third division, as a striker.
Having spent his early years playing mostly in the Madrid area, including stints with Rayo Vallecano and Atlético de Madrid's B sides, Calle signed in January 2002 with Segunda División side Xerez CD, where his impressive scoring rate attracted the attention of neighbours Recreativo de Huelva, which signed him for 2004–05.
After having scored twice in La Liga, in his first top level experience (both in a 3–2 triumph at Real Sociedad, on September 24, 2006[1]), Calle was deemed surplus to requirements and finished the season in the second level, with Albacete Balompié, having another good individual record.
In 2007–08, he played with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, returning the following season to Xerez, on loan, contributing with eight goals in 1,523 minutes as the Andalusians achieved a first ever top flight promotion.
After the August 2009 transfer window had closed, Calle moved to Girona FC, also in the second level.[2] Thus, he had to wait until January of the following year to appear officially for his new team.
Calle stayed in division two for the 2010–11 season, with the 31-year old signing for Real Valladolid in the summer, and moving in January 2011 to former club Albacete.
