In the top flight, González also represented UD Salamanca[4] and CD Logroñés,[5][6] for a total of 151 games and ten goals over seven seasons. He added 267 matches and 48 goals in the second tier, retiring in 1993 at the age of 34 after two years apiece with Palamós CF[7] and UE Figueres, also in the Catalonia region.[8]
International career
González represented Spain at the 1980 Summer Olympics, where they competed under the Olympic flag due to the boycott.[9][10] In his hometown, plaques commemorated any Olympian born in the city, but he appeared to have been forgotten as his name was not listed.[11][4]
