José Santiago Cañizares Ruiz (born December 18, 1969 in Puertollano, Ciudad Real) is a Spanish football goalkeeper. Cañizares earned worldwide recognition during his time at Valencia CF, where he has appeared in more than 400 official games from 1998 to 2008.

[edit] Club career

Cañizares started his club career with Real Madrid in 1988, playing initially with Real Madrid B. He then played with Mérida UD and Celta Vigo, before coming back to Real Madrid in 1994.

Unable to cement a starting place, Cañizares moved to Valencia CF in 1998 to replace the retired Andoni Zubizarreta. He helped the club to consecutive UEFA Champions League finals in 2000 and 2001 and La Liga titles in 2002 and 2004.

In December 2007, Cañizares, alongside teammates Miguel Ángel Angulo and David Albelda, was axed by new manager Ronald Koeman, with all three players limited to training, and unable to join another side in Spain, having already played 4 league matches.[1]

In late April, however, with Koeman's sacking, all three were reinstated by new manager Voro in a squad seriously threatened with relegation, with five remaining rounds. On April 27, 2008, Cañizares returned to action, as Timo Hildebrand and Juan Luis Mora were injured, in a 3-0 home win against CA Osasuna.

[edit] National team

Cañizares has been capped 46 times for Spain, the first in 17 November 1993. Zubizarreta was sent off in the tenth minute of a decisive 1994 World Cup qualifier (Spain-Denmark, 1-0) and Cañizares debuted in heroic fashion, keeping a clean sheet and ensuring qualification at the expense of the Danes themselves. However, he was often the second-choice keeper, and only played five matches in the major international scene: one in the 1994 World Cup (as Zubi served a one-match ban), three in Euro 2000 (the only tournament where he was the first choice keeper) and one in the 2006 World Cup. He was a squad member at Euro 96, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2004, and the 2006 World Cup but didn't play behind Andoni Zubizarreta in the 1990s and Iker Casillas in 2004. However, Cañizares was first-choice in the gold winning squad at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

His club form ensured himself as first-choice international in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but he missed out on the tournament due to an accident with an aftershave bottle which resulted in a severed tendon in his foot. Since then, Casillas has been the first Spain goalkeeping option.
