'''Enrique Castro González''', also known as '''Quini''' (born [[September 23]], [[1949]]) is a [[Spain|Spanish]] ex-[[football (soccer)|footballer]] born in [[Oviedo]].
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.
