Ricardo Zamora Trophy

The Ricardo Zamora Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Ricardo Zamora) is a football award, established by Spanish newspaper MARCA in 1958. The award goes to the goalkeeper who has the lowest "goals-to-games" ratio.[1] It is named after legendary Spanish goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora.

In the inaugural year of the award, the winning goalkeeper had to play at least 15 league matches in the current season. In 1964, the limit for matches a goalkeeper had to play was raised to 22. In 1983, it was raised to 28 matches, including the rule that the goalkeeper had to play at least 60 minutes in match for it to count.

In the last couple of years the list of goalkeepers who would have won the trophy prior to 1958 has been published. For these seasons, a limit of matches that the goalkeeper had to play has been applied. For the leagues with only 10 teams the limit of matches was 14, for those of 12 teams it was 17 and for those of 14 the limit was 20 matches. For those leagues of 16 teams it is 22 - as originally established for the trophy from 1964 to 1983.

Notes

  1. ↑ Similar to goals against average in ice hockey or earned run average in baseball.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 In the 1970-71 season and the 1972-73 season, MARCA awarded two trophies; one to the team with the lowest coefficient and another to the team that had conceded the least amount of goals.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 In the 1992-93 season two goalkeepers tied when calculating the average with a precision of two decimals. The tie-breaker was the number of matches played, which favoured Liaño. On the other side, the calculation of the third decimal favoured Cañizares. MARCA resolved to award two trophies.
