(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In a career totally connected with Sporting de Gij\u00f3n and FC Barcelona, he was widely regarded as one of the country’s best strikers, having won a total of seven Pichichi Trophy awards, five of those in La Liga.A Spain international for 12 years, Quini represented the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Club career[edit]Kidnapping[edit]International career[edit]Personal life[edit]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]International goals[edit]Honours[edit]Club[edit]Individual[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Club career[edit]Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Quini joined local Real Oviedo’s neighbours Sporting de Gij\u00f3n in 1968, from amateurs CD Ensidesa.[2] In his first season in La Liga, 1970\u201371, he scored 13 goals in 30 games and, the following nine years, only netted once in single digits and won three Pichichi, one in Segunda Divisi\u00f3n; ironically, in the year in which he won his second, Sporting were relegated, the player’s 21 goals being insufficient to avoid last place.[3]In summer 1980, Quini signed with FC Barcelona, who had already tried to sign the player after Sporting’s relegation. In his first two years he totalled 47 league goals, good enough for two more individual accolades. He also helped the Catalans to the 1981 Copa del Rey, netting twice to put away his beloved Sporting in a 3\u20131 win in the final.[4] Additionally, in the 1981\u201382 European Cup Winners’ Cup, he helped Bar\u00e7a come from behind to beat Belgium’s Standard Li\u00e8ge 2\u20131 as the decisive match was held at the Camp Nou.[5]In his final two years, Quini appeared infrequently with Barcelona (but scored the club’s 3,000th goal in the league, in a home match against CD Castell\u00f3n),[6][7] and chose to retire in 1984 at age 35, even being awarded a testimonial; however, he reconsidered and eventually returned to former side Sporting for three more years in the top flight, being sparingly used. On 14 June 1987 he played his last match, against Barcelona, and he totalled 448 games and 219 goals in the first division alone (fifth all-time).[8]Quini continued to serve Sporting in the following decades, in several directorial capacities.[9][10][11]Kidnapping[edit]On 1 March 1981, after scoring twice for Barcelona in a 6\u20130 home victory over H\u00e9rcules CF, Quini was kidnapped by two men at gunpoint, being forced into a van. After many developments and 25 days \u2013 during this time, Barcelona could only amass one draw in four games, eventually losing the title race \u2013 he was rescued unharmed, upon cooperation between the Spanish and Swiss law enforcement agencies.[12][13]It was subsequently speculated that Quini developed Stockholm syndrome, since he decided not to press charges against his kidnappers and never claimed his personal damages award of 5 million pesetas.[14]International career[edit]Quini made his debut for Spain on 28 October 1970, in a friendly in Zaragoza with Greece: having played the second half, he scored in a 2\u20131 win.With a total of 35 caps and eight goals, Quini participated in two FIFA World Cups, 1978 and 1982, as well as UEFA Euro 1980. He could only find the net once in all those competitions (at Euro ’80), and the nation suffered a 2\u20131 loss against Belgium.Personal life[edit]Quini’s younger brother, Jes\u00fas, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he too spent several years with Sporting.[16][17] With 763 appearances between the siblings in La Liga, they ranked second in this reckoning behind Julio and Patxi Salinas at the time of their retirement.[18]In 2008, Quini overcame a throat cancer.[19] On 29 April 2016, the Town Hall of Gij\u00f3n named him adoptive son of the city.[20]On 27 February 2018, Quini died at the age of 68 after suffering a heart attack.[21] Just one day later, the City Council of Gij\u00f3n agreed unanimously to rename El Molin\u00f3n stadium as Estadio El Molin\u00f3n-Enrique Castro “Quini” in his memory.[22]About 14,000 people attended Quini’s funeral at his main club’s homeground.[23]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]Sources:[24][25]International goals[edit]Sources:[28]#DateVenueOpponentScoreResultCompetition1.28 October 1970La Romareda, Zaragoza, Spain\u00a0Greece2\u201302\u20131Friendly2.20 November 1974Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland\u00a0Scotland1\u201311\u20132UEFA Euro 1976 qualifying3.1\u201324.29 March 1978El Molin\u00f3n, Gij\u00f3n, Spain\u00a0Norway1\u201303\u20130Friendly5.26 April 1978Los C\u00e1rmenes, Granada, Spain\u00a0Mexico1\u201302\u20130Friendly6.16 April 1980El Molin\u00f3n, Gij\u00f3n, Spain\u00a0Czechoslovakia2\u201322\u20132Friendly7.15 June 1980Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Italy\u00a0Belgium1\u201312\u20131UEFA Euro 19808.24 February 1982Luis Casanova, Valencia, Spain\u00a0Scotland2\u201303\u20130FriendlyHonours[edit]Club[edit]Sporting Gij\u00f3nBarcelonaIndividual[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]^ Fern\u00e1ndez, Albina (21 April 2012). “Los jugadores que hicieron historia en el Ensidesa juvenil no olvidan el pasado” [The players who made Ensidesa youth great do not forget the past].
