As a player, he was also known as "El Brujo", "Quinocho", and "Quinigol". The last is a reference to his great ability to score goals (gol in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]). He dedicated his professional career playing for two historic Spanish clubs: [[Sporting de Gijón]] and [[FC Barcelona]]. It was at the latter club where he collected his only milestone trophies: the 1981 [[Copa del Rey]], scoring twice to put away his beloved Sporting, on a 3-1 win in the final; and the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1981-82]] where he scored the winner against Belgium's [[Standard Liège]] in the final held at the [[Nou Camp]]. He scored 219 goals in '[[La Liga]]', the Spanish First Division, captured the [[Pichichi Trophy]] five times, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest attacking players in [[Spanish history]] and the greatest player in Sporting de Gijon history. Quini played for Spain in the [[Football World Cup 1978|1978]] and [[Football World Cup 1982|1982]] [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]], as well as the [[1976 European Football Championship|1976]] and [[1980 European Football Championship|1980]] [[European Football Championship|European Championships]]. He was kidnapped in 1981, being rescued by the police after 25 days. ==Honours== *'''[[Copa del Rey]]: 1''' **1981 *'''[[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]]: 1''' **1982 *'''[[Copa de la Liga]]: 1''' **1982 ==External links== *[http://www.national-football-teams.com/v2/player.php?id=18838 Playing career at National Football Teams] {{Spain Squad 1978 World Cup}} {{Spain Squad 1980 UEFA Euro}} {{Spain Squad 1982 World Cup}} {{Spain-footy-striker-stub}} [[Category:1949 births|Quini]] [[Category:Living people|Quini]] [[Category:Asturian people|Quini]] [[Category:Spanish footballers|Quini]] [[Category:Spain international footballers|Quini]] [[Category:Sporting de Gijón footballers]] [[Category:FC Barcelona footballers|Quini]] [[Category:La Liga footballers|Quini]] [[Category:1978 FIFA World Cup players|Quini]] [[Category:UEFA Euro 1980 players|Quini]] [[Category:1982 FIFA World Cup players|Quini]] [[ar:كويني]] [[ast:Quini]] [[ca:Enrique Castro González]] [[de:Quini]] [[es:Enrique Castro González]] [[eu:Quini]] [[fr:Quini]] [[it:Quini]] [[nl:Quini]] [[ja:エンリケ・カストロ・ゴンザレス]] [[pl:Quini]] [[pt:Enrique Castro González]] [[fi:Quini]]
