| José Santiago Cañizares Ruiz (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 18 December 1969) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, currently a rally driver.
A product of Real Madrid's youth academies, he eventually joined the first team but proved unable to establish himself there, being loaned out twice. He moved to Valencia in 1998, appearing in 418 official matches over the next decade and winning several major titles, including two La Liga championships and the 2004 UEFA Cup.
Cañizares represented Spain in three World Cups and as many European Championships, and won a gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics. In 2004, Peter Schmeichel said that he regarded him as the "finest goalkeeper in world football". Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
