	Emilio Butragueno
		Emilio Butragueno Santos (born July 22, 1963 in Madrid) was a Spanish football forward,.
		In 1981, Butragueno joined Real Madrid as a youth and in a very short time was playing for the first team, where he was known under the nickname of El Buitre (The Vulture), a play on his surname.
		Butragueno was a key member of teams that won the league six times (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1995), the Copa del Rey twice (1989 and 1993), the UEFA Cup twice (1985 and 1986) and three Spanish super cups (1988, 1990 and 1993).

	CNNSI.com - 2002 World Cup - World Cup Hall of Fame: Emilio Butragueno - Wednesday May 08, 2002 10:45 PM
		But Butragueno was responsible for one of Spain's finest moments in the competition when he scored four times in his country's 5-1 win over heavily fancied Denmark in the second round of Mexico '86.
		Nicknamed "The Vulture" for his deadly abilities as a poacher around the penalty area, Butragueno intercepted a backpass for his first, completed his hat trick with two opportunist close range finishes, and capped one of the outstanding individual performances in World Cup history with a penalty.
		By the 1990 finals in Italy, Butragueno was playing in a deeper role and failed to add to his World Cup tally as Spain went out in the last 16 against Yugoslavia.

		Despite producing some of the game's finer talents - Francisco Gento, Emilio Butragueno, Andoni Zubizarreta, Raul and Fernando Hierro among them - and with what some consider to be the finest league in the world, Spain has not been equal to the sum of its considerable parts.
		But Emilio Butragueno, the former Spain legend and darling of Real Madrid, where he is now sporting director, believes that his country's international record does not deserve such criticism.
		Butragueno, whose appearance has barely altered since his playing days, is convinced that better days lie ahead for Spain's new crop of exciting youngsters.
