Enrique 'Quique' Ramos González (born 7 March 1956) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Ramos finished his youth career at Atlético Madrid, making his La Liga debut on 9 September 1979 and scoring in the 3–2 away win over Hércules CF. He remained a first-team regular until the end of his tenure, helping the capital side to win the 1985 Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España.[1]

However, after the 1987–88 season, mainly due to serious personal problems with elusive club chairman Jesús Gil,[2] he left the Colchoneros and retired altogether – after one year of inactivity – in June 1990, with lowly Rayo Vallecano, being relegated from La Liga.[3]

International career

Ramos represented Spain on four occasions. His debut came on 18 February 1981, in a friendly against France (1–0 victory).[1]
