About Francisco Buyo
Francisco "Paco" Buyo Sánchez (born 13 January 1958) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Best known for his Sevilla and Real Madrid spells, he appeared in 542 La Liga matches, third all-time highest at the time of his retirement, winning 12 major titles with the latter club. Buyo was a backup on the Spain national team for about one decade, representing the nation in two European Championships. == Club career == Buyo was born in Betanzos, Province of A Coruña. At the age of 14, he began playing football for local Ural, for which he appeared as both a goalkeeper and right winger during his one-year spell, achieving the feat of being both unbeaten between the goalposts and also the team's top scorer. Buyo's first senior club was Mallorca, in the Tercera División. After one season, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña, where he would stay until 1980, with a loan to Huesca – while he performed military service in Jaca – in between. He made his debut in La Liga in the 1980–81 season with Sevilla, being the starting goalkeeper from the beginning; he appeared in 248 competitive matches during his spell, also earning his first callup to the Spain national team. Buyo's performances at Sevilla made Real Madrid require his services, signing him in 1986 as a replacement for veteran Miguel Ángel. In his first season, he played all 44 league games (the campaign featured a second stage), the first being a 3–1 away win over Real Murcia, being instrumental to the Merengues' national title.
