Urko Pardo

Urko Rafael Pardo Goas (Greek: Ούρκο Ράφαελ Πάρντο Γκόας; born 28 January 1983) is a Belgian-born Spanish-Cypriot retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Formed at Barcelona, he spent most of his career in the Cypriot First Division, mainly with APOEL with which he won eight titles including five league championships.

The move was extended by Rapid for the following season, and he appeared more regularly (Olympiacos were seeking a replacement for the legendary Antonios Nikopolidis (40), who was set to retire in June 2011, and said the Spaniard would be a very good choice for succeeding him),[6] being the most used player in his position.

In the last day of the 2011 summer transfer window, Pardo signed a two-year contract with Cyprus champions APOEL FC.

He made his official debut on 19 October against FC Porto, replacing injured Dionisis Chiotis early into the second half of a 1–1 away draw in that season's UEFA Champions League,[7] and added a further four appearances as the club reached the quarter-finals for the first time ever.
