Roberto Fernández Alvarellos, simply Roberto (born 25 January 1979 in Chantada, Lugo), is a Spanish footballer who plays for Granada CF as a goalkeeper.
[edit] Football career
After five seasons struggling with Celta de Vigo, never making it past its B team, Roberto moved to Sporting de Gijón in 2002. Safe for his first season, he was an undisputed starter during his entire stay, winning the Ricardo Zamora Trophy in 2005–06, conceding only 31 goals in 38 matches, whilst going unbeaten for 825 minutes with the Segunda División club.
In July 2008, after playing in all the league matches save one to help Sporting return to the top division after a ten-year absence, Roberto also moved to La Liga, signing a three-year deal with CA Osasuna. After starting his first season on the bench, he eventually beat competition from veteran Ricardo (formerly of Manchester United) and became first-choice, but lost it again in 2009–10, appearing almost exclusively in the domestic cup – he played the last two rounds in the league, with the Navarrese already safe from the relegation zone.
On 15 July 2010, Roberto was released by Osasuna and signed a three-year deal with Granada CF, returned to level two after a 22-year absence. He only missed two games in the regular season in his first year, then starred in the playoffs in an eventual second consecutive promotion for the Andalusians.
