Óscar Luis Celada (born 9 March 1966), known simply as Óscar, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Over the course of nine seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 189 games and 11 goals, mainly with Sporting de Gijón (six years).
Football career
Born in Luarca, Asturias, Óscar arrived at local Sporting de Gijón in 1985, but had to wait three years for his first opportunities with the main squad. His best year came in the 1993–94 season, as he started in all his 26 appearances (21 complete games) while the club maintained its La Liga status.
In 1994, Óscar moved to Real Zaragoza, helping the Aragonese to the campaign's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup – he did not leave the bench in the final[1]– but he was mainly a fringe player during his three-year spell.
In his final four years, Óscar played two seasons apiece with UD Las Palmas and Universidad de Las Palmas CF, retiring in June 2001 at 35. After obtaining his degree in medicine, he returned to Zaragoza in 2008 as chief doctor;[2] in the following year, in the same capacity, he joined the Spanish national team.[3]
