Tomás Reñones Crego

Tomás was born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. After three seasons with SD Compostela in his hometown he joined Atlético Madrid in 1981, first playing with the reserves. He made his La Liga debut in 1984–85 and never again lost his starting XI berth, going on to make 483 competitive appearances for the club. On 25 May 1996, aged 35, Tomás took the field in the 83rd minute of his final game, a home fixture against Albacete Balompié. Although he appeared in only 12 matches during the campaign, he aided the Colchoneros to an historic double, and retired altogether in 1998 after two stints in the lower leagues. Tomás returned to Atlético in July 2018, as part of the first-team staff.

Tomás earned 19 caps for the Spain national team, and was selected for the 1986 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1988 (playing a total of eight matches and completing seven). His debut came on 20 November 1985, in a 0–0 friendly against Austria in Zaragoza.
