Andoni Cedrún Ibarra (born 5 June 1960) is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He appeared in 351 La Liga matches over 15 seasons, mostly for Zaragoza, with which he won three major titles, including the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup. He started his career with Athletic Bilbao.
Born in Durango, Biscay, Cedrún was a youth product at Athletic Bilbao, and managed to appear in 21 first-team matches in his first professional season at only 20. This was prior to the promotion of another Lezama graduate, legendary Andoni Zubizarreta, which then left him two years without any La Liga appearances.[1]
Cedrún joined Real Zaragoza of the same league in summer 1984, following half a season at Cádiz CF (15 games, top-flight relegation).[1] He proceeded to play 144 times in the league in his first four years, adding five matches in the team's victorious campaign in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1994–95.[2] [3]
For the 1988–89 campaign, the Aragonese signed Paraguayan José Luis Chilavert, and Cedrún would again be second-choice for two seasons. However, he managed to bounce back at age 30, going on to start again the following three.[1]
From 1993 onwards, Cedrún began facing some competition from Real Madrid youth graduate Juanmi and, after no league appearances to his credit in 1995–96, left for a single top-tier campaign at lowly CD Logroñés, retiring subsequently.[1]
Cedrún's father, Carmelo, was also a footballer and a goalkeeper. He too represented Athletic, but with more success, playing more than 400 competitive matches in the 50s/60s.[4]
His nephew, Markel Areitio, is also a goalkeeper.[5]
