m Sorry, wrong publisher in REF#1.
OK TJ, as promised returned with ref cleanup, but with the due accessdates (and thanks for fixing dead sources). One new ref in INT.CAREER, instead of just a LINK with stats! And +2 in CLUB CAREER folks.

Template:Spanish name Juan Carlos Valerón Santana (born 17 June 1975) is a Spanish retired footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña as an attacking midfielder.

He is known for his technical abilities, especially passing skills and ball control. He also had many injuries during his professional career.[1] Over the course of 15 seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 390 games and 28 goals, in representation of Mallorca, Atlético Madrid and Deportivo La Coruña, spending 13 years with the latter club.

Valerón represented Spain in one World Cup and two European Championships, gaining nearly 50 caps.

Club career

Early years

Born in Arguineguín, Gran Canaria,[2] Valerón started playing with hometown UD Las Palmas, but switched to the Balearic Islands in 1997–98, representing RCD Mallorca and making his La Liga debut on 31 August 1997, playing ten minutes in a 2–1 home win over Valencia CF.

He was an instrumental figure in the side's qualification to the UEFA Cup as fifth, as it also reached the Spanish Cup final, lost to eventual league winners FC Barcelona in a penalty shootout.

Atlético Madrid / Deportivo

In the next two years, Valerón played with Atlético de Madrid where he was an undisputed starter but, following the club's relegation in 1999–2000, joined Deportivo de La Coruña, sharing club and position with equally talented Brazilian Djalminha. He gradually would become first-choice, signing a contract to eventually see off the remainder of his career with the Galicians in February 2004.[3]

Since January 2006, however, Valerón also had a bad run with injuries. He suffered a knee injury[4] which relapsed in August[5] and early 2007 (with him only managing two league appearances in the process), leading to another surgery.[6] Consequently he did not reappear until midway through 2007–08.

On 27 January 2008, Valerón returned to the bench (the first callup in 133 days) for Deportivo's game against Real Valladolid – a 3–1 home win, replacing Mexican Andrés Guardado for the final 15 minutes. In the 2008–09 season, aged 33, he eventually became an important first-team fixture again,[7][8]

36-year-old Valerón was an undisputed stater for Depor in 2011–12, scoring a career-best five goals in nearly 3,000 minutes of action in Segunda División as his team returned to the top flight after one year out, as champions.[9]

International career

A Spanish international since 18 November 1998 (Italy 2 – Spain 2),[10] Valerón appeared with the national side at UEFA Euro 2000, the 2002 FIFA World Cup (where he scored in a 3–1 win against Slovenia[11] and Euro 2004, netting immediately after coming from the bench in a 1–0 victory over Russia in the latter competition.[12]

He played the last of his 46 international matches in March 2005, a 3–0 win over China.
