''For other people, see Roberto Martinez (disambiguation)'' Roberto Martínez Rípodas (born 15 September 1976), known as Tiko, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central or a defensive midfielder. He was known for his powerful shots〔(Spain round-up: Tiko inspires win ); UEFA.com, 12 January 2002〕 and creative play, his long-range efforts being dubbed ''Tikotazo''.〔(Peligro: "Tikotazo" (Danger: "Tikotazo") ); Diario Equipo, 4 December 2003 〕 Over the course of 12 professional seasons he played mainly for Athletic Bilbao, appearing in 230 official games for his main club (nearly 200 in La Liga) and scoring 26 goals. ==Club career== Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Tiko emerged through the ranks of hometown CA Osasuna, alternating between the A and B-sides for some time, with the former competing in the second division. His professional debut came on 10 May 1997, as he scored an injury time-winner at CD Badajoz (1–0). In 1999–2000 Tiko moved to neighbours Athletic Bilbao, making his La Liga debut on 12 October 1999 in a 4–3 away win against Málaga CF. He would make 20 appearances all competitions comprised during the season, netting once. From 2001 to 2006, Tiko was an undisputed starter in midfield for the Basque Country team, often scoring from free kicks and dictating Athletic's play. In his final two seasons he was severely hampered by injuries〔(Athletic dealt Tiko injury blow ); UEFA.com, 9 October 2006〕 and the emergence of Javi Martínez and Carlos Gurpegui, playing in just seven league matches combined. In August 2008, deemed surplus to requirements, Tiko joined SD Eibar in the second level, on a one-year loan deal.〔(Con las botas a otra parte (Taking your boots elsewhere) ); Diario de Navarra, 27 December 2008 〕 Upon his return to Bilbao following the team's relegation, he was immediately released, and retired from the game shortly after. 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「Tiko (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
