Toni Velamazán

Antonio "Toni" Velamazán Tejedor (born 22 January 1977) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

He appeared 11 times for the first team during the 1995–96 season, under Johan Cruyff, but could never establish in the main squad,[1][2] going on to have one-year spells with Real Oviedo, Albacete Balompié and CF Extremadura.

[3] Incidentally, Velamazán would settle at Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol, where he spent six and a half years, although he started regularly in only two.

His best season would be 1999–2000, as the player scored six goals in 34 La Liga matches and the club also won the Copa del Rey[4]– only ranking 14th in the league however; after suffering a knee injury on 6 January 2002 against Málaga CF, he never fully recovered and left the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in January 2006.

[7][8] Velamazán started all six matches (although only one complete) at the 2000 Summer Olympics, scoring once as the Spanish team finished second.
