Enrique Castro González (born 23 September 1949), known as Quini, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker. In a career totally connected with Sporting de Gijón 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 Spanish international for 12 years, Quini represented the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship. ==Club career== Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Quini joined local Real Oviedo's neighbours Sporting de Gijón in 1968, from amateurs Ensidesa. In his first season in La Liga, 1970–71, he scored 13 goals in 30 matches and, during the following nine years, only netted once in single digits and won three ''Pichichi'', one in Segunda División; ironically, in the year in which he won his second, Sporting was relegated, the player's 21 goals being insufficient to avoid the last place. In the 1980 summer Quini signed with FC Barcelona, which had already tried to sign the player after Sporting's relegation. In his first two years combined he scored 47 league goals, good enough for two more scoring accolades. He also helped the Catalans to the 1981 Copa del Rey, netting twice to put away his beloved Sporting in a 3–1 win in the final;〔(El Barcelona ganó una bonita final de Copa (Barcelona won beautiful Cup final) ); El País, 19 June 1981 〕 additionally, in the 1981–82 European Cup Winners' Cup he helped ''Barça'' come from behind to beat Belgium's Standard Liège 2–1, as the final was held at the Camp Nou.〔(1981/82: Home sweet home for Barcelona ); UEFA.com, 1 June 1982〕 In his final two years Quini appeared little with Barcelona (but scored the club's 3000th goal in the league, in a home match against CD Castellón〔(Enrique Castro Quini, autor del gol 3.000: El cabezazo del 'Brujo' (Enrique Castro Quini, scorer of goal 3.000: The 'Sorcerer's header) ); El Periódico, 29 January 2009 〕), and chose to retire in 1984 at age 35, even being awarded a testimonial match by the club – however, he reconsidered and eventually returned to former club Sporting for three more years in the top flight, being relatively used. On 14 June 1987 he played his last match, against Barcelona, and totalled 448 games and 219 goals in the first division alone (fifth all-time); in the following decades he continued linked to Sporting, in several directorial capacities.〔(Quini ingresará mañana en el hospital para someterse a una segunda operación de garganta (Quini to be admitted to hospital tomorrow for second throat surgery) ); La Nueva España, 4 February 2008 〕〔(Quini hará de 'entrenador' del Sporting en el Camp Nou (Quini will be Sporting's 'coach' at the Camp Nou) ); Marca, 2 February 2009 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
