Santiago Castro Anido (born 16 May 1947) is a Spanish former professional footballer.
Born in Mugardos, Castro started his career with local side Galicia Mugardos.[1] He played for Arsenal Ferrol, scoring 26 goals and helping the side achieve promotion to the Tercera División.[1] These performances caught the eye of fellow Ferrol-based club Racing de Ferrol.[1]
After good performances with Racing de Ferrol in the Segunda División, Castro was signed by Barcelona at the end of the 1967–68 season.[2] He had supported Barcelona as a child, listing Luis Suárez as an idol.[2] Military service delayed his Barcelona debut, as he was stationed in Cartagena, Barcelona and Madrid.[1] [2] He eventually made his debut at the end of the 1968–69 season, also playing in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup that season.[2]
In March 1971, he made the move to Celta de Vigo, as part of an exchange deal including Quique Costas.[2] [3] His career in Vigo started well, with a goal on his debut against Real Madrid.[3] He went on to play 328 games in all competitions for Celta.[3]
Following his retirement from playing, Castro worked as a youth coach at Celta de Vigo, then as part of the background staff of the first team.[4] He also had a brief spell as manager of Gran Peña.
