Alberto Mendez Rodríguez (born 24 October 1974) is a German footballer of Spanish descent, who plays for SpVgg Weiden, as a midfielder.

[edit] Playing career

Born in Nuremberg, Germany, Mendez was discovered by Arsenal and Arsène Wenger playing for German non-league side 1. SC Feucht, and signed for Arsenal in 1997. He made his first-team debut in a League Cup match against Birmingham City on 14 October 1997, as a substitute, and scored the final goal in a 4–1 win.^[1]

However, he could not establish himself in the first-team; he played only eleven matches for Arsenal, four of which were in the league, in five seasons, with one goal to his name.

Mendez had subsequent spells with AEK Athens FC, SpVgg Unterhaching, Racing de Ferrol and Terrassa FC, the latter two in Spain's second division, before returning to Germany permanently in 2004, playing in the lower leagues.
