Encyclopedia
Emilio Butragueño Santos (born 22 July 1963 in Madrid
) is a retired Spanish
footballer who played as a striker.
He was best known for his spell with Real Madrid
. Nicknamed El Buitre (The Vulture
), he was a member of the legendary Quinta del Buitre
, along with Manolo Sanchís, Rafael Martín Vázquez
, Míchel and Miguel Pardeza.
Butragueño amassed La Liga
totals of 341 games and 123 goals for his main club, in 12 seasons, and represented the Spanish national team
in two World Cups
(being the second top scorer in the 1986 edition
) and as many European Championships
, scoring 26 international goals for his country, a record that stood for several years.
's youth system, and played first for its reserve side
, before being given his senior debut by Alfredo Di Stéfano
on 5 February 1984 against Cádiz CF
. He made an instant impact, scoring twice and assisting
for the third goal in a 3–2 away turnaround, after Real trailed by 0–2. On 12 December that year, he made his European competition
debut, contributing to a 6–1 home triumph against R.S.C. Anderlecht
for the UEFA Cup third round (after a 0–3 loss in Brussels
), as the Merengues went on to win the competition.
At the time, Real Madrid's form was so patchy that first team's attendances were poorer than the reserve side ones. Butragueño contributed to the side's transformation, and was a prominent member of the team during the 1980s, winning numerous honours: he received the European Bronze award for best footballer in two consecutive years, and won the Pichichi Trophy in 1991, while also being instrumental in the capital
club's five national leagues
, two domestic cups
and two (consecutive) UEFA Cups.
In June 1995, having lost his influence in the Real Madrid side (only eight matches, with one goal, as the club won another league), mainly due to the emergence of 17-year old Raúl González
, Butragueño signed for Club Celaya in Mexico
and, in his first year, the team reached the final of the national championship
. After three years, where he was known as the Gentleman of the Pitch (never received a single red card
during his entire career), he finally decided to retire from the game in April 1998.
, and scored 26 goals. His debut came on 17 October 1984, against Wales
in a 1986 FIFA World Cup
qualifier
, although he had already been picked as an uncapped
player for the UEFA Euro 1984 team, as the nation finished runners-up.
Butragueño was also selected for the 1986 World Cup
, where he played a major part, scoring four goals as Spain beat Denmark
5–1 in the round of 16 match. He also played in the 1990 edition
in Italy
(four matches, no goals), and was the national side's fifth-highest all-time top scorer with 26 goals, behind Raúl, David Villa
, Fernando Hierro
and Fernando Morientes
