Canito

Nicanor Sagarduy Gonzalo (previously Nicanor Trapero Gonzalo), known as Canito (18 March 1931 – 24 June 1998), was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender.

Club career Canito signed with Basque Country club Athletic Bilbao in 1948, from neighbours Barakaldo CF in the Segunda División. He scored his first goal for the Lions in his tenth appearance, in the 4–0 win against Sevilla FC also at the San Mamés Stadium.

In the 1955–56 season, Canito appeared in 27 games as Athletic won the top-division title. He would also be an essential defensive player as they claimed three Copa del Generalísimo trophies in just four years (for a total of four during his spell).

After 15 years in the senior squad, and 440 competitive matches to his credit, Canito moved to another side in the region, Deportivo Alavés, but retired a few months later. He died aged 67 in his hometown of Barakaldo, Biscay.
