Toni Velamazán

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Velamazán was a youth graduate of FC Barcelona. He made 11 appearances for the first team during the 1995–96 season, under Johan Cruyff, but could never establish himself in the main squad, going on to have one-year spells with Real Oviedo, Albacete Balompié and CF Extremadura. Velamazán would subsequently settle at Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol, where he spent six and a half years although he started regularly in only two. His best individual season was 1999–2000, as the player scored six goals in 34 La Liga matches and the club also won the Copa del Rey, only ranking 14th in the domestic league however; he suffered a knee injury on 6 January 2002 against Málaga CF from which he never fully recovered, and left the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in January 2006. Shortly after, Velamazán returned to Segunda División by signing a one-year contract with UD Almería, following which he returned to his native region, joining lowly CE L'Hospitalet and remaining there until his retirement at the end of the 2010–11 campaign, aged 34.

Velamazán started all six matches (although only one complete) at the 2000 Summer Olympics, scoring once as the Spanish team finished second.
