Eduardo Teus

He debuted in the first team, as an outfield player, on 19 September 1915 against Stadium FC in a friendly won 6–1 at the Campo de O'Donnell in Madrid. While he was preferred over in his position, at the time, in the 1915-16 Campeonato Regional Centro he was instead played in the friendlies when, on 25 December, he received a hit right by his heart from a Sporting CP player that left him out of the field for two months. He returned on 7 March 1916 at the Camp de la Indústria, in a friendly against FC Barcelona, for the first time as a goalkeeper thanks to a decision made by Santiago Bernabéu, captain of the team, who chose him over Pablo Lemmel for a little misconduct following the 3–0 defeat suffered by the same team few days before. Apart from being his first Clásico, his first performance at the post kept the score level at 0-0 and from there he made the goalkeeper role his primary function. Teus played his first official match, once again, against Barcelona in the semifinal series of the 1916 Copa del Rey, famed for being one of the sparks that ignited the rivalry between the two clubs. In the first leg on 26 March, he suffered a come-back led by Paulino Alcántara and Vicente Martínez after Madrid took the lead with Juan José Petit thus, his official debut, resulting in a loss. After not playing a part in the second leg and in the first tie-breaker, he returned for the second replay where Madrid defeated Barça 4–2 to progress into the national cup final. Madrid's access…

He later became a successful sports journalist and was later tasked by Francisco Franco to manage the Spain national football team as head coach. He managed the national team from 1941 to 1942, playing a total of six international games, of which he won three, and lost only one and drew two. In 1958, Teus died of a stroke while watching a game at the press box of the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao in Spain.

Teus was born in Manila, Philippines on 6 November 1896 to a Filipino family of native and Spanish origins. With the Spanish–American War going on, his family moved away from the country to settle in Spain. He was sent by his parents in England to study at the St Joseph's College in London where he first learned about football. He then returned to Spain in 1913 and, at 17, entered the youth teams of Madrid FC playing as a midfielder and forward whilst pursuing a faculty in Law.
