José María Quevedo García (born 1 June 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mostly as a central midfielder.

Football career

Born in Cádiz, Quevedo's professional career began with local Cádiz CF, making his La Liga debuts during 1989–90 (11 matches played in the season). Alongside another club youth graduate, Kiko, he would be instrumental in the Andalusians successive successful struggles with relegation three years in a row.

After Cádiz's relegation in 1993 Quevedo moved, with Kiko, to Atlético Madrid, but failed to settle unlike the centre forward, signing with Real Valladolid after just one season. In his second year he scored a career-best 13 goals, helping the team barely avoid top flight relegation, and added ten in the following campaign.

Quevedo then played with Cádiz neighbours Sevilla FC – one promotion and one relegation – and Rayo Vallecano, helping the Madrid side remain three consecutive years in the top level. He retired in June 2004 at the age of 35 with his first club, in division two.[1]

Personal life

Quevedo shares birthplace and date with Arteaga, also a Cádiz youth graduate.
