Position: Forward

Clubs represented: Real Madrid, Betis, Barcelona, Marseille

Total appearances/goals: 320/86

Total caps: 38/11

Honours:
1 domestic league titles, 2 domestic cups, 2 domestic super cups

1 Olympic Gold Medal: 92

Highs:
He was part of Spain's famous team that won the Olympic medal on own turf (some of his team-mates included Josep Guardiola, José Amavisca, Luis Enrique, Santiago Cañizares and Kiko).
He is Betis' icon player of the 90s, breaking goal-scoring records (most in a season in all competitions and most in european competitions in a season) and giving match-winning displays that saw the team consistently in the upper half of the league table
.

Lows:
Despite being part of the elite group of players to have played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, he shone for none.
Internationally, while not always a first option, never made a significant impact, as Spain constantly stalled in the major tournaments.
