Oliver Cuadrado Martín (born 12 July 1977), known simply as Oliver, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Madrid, Oliver spent 12 years connected to local – and La Liga – giants Real Madrid. He only appeared with their B and C sides during his tenure, even though he occasionally trained with the first team managed by Vicente del Bosque; he was included in the latter's squad for the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship.[1] [2]
Oliver signed with SD Compostela of Segunda División in August 2000 after leaving the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium,[3] appearing in 14 league matches in his first season, which ended in relegation. After being first-choice as the Galician club returned to where it came from, he was again backup in the 2002–03 campaign, with Compos again dropping down a league in spite of having finished ninth;[4] following a 2–1 loss against relegation-threatened Córdoba CF on 15 June 2003, he was accused of having been paid to help the visitors win (not holding an easy shot attempt in the Andalusians' second goal), but nothing was ever proved.[5] [6]
Subsequently, Oliver resumed his career in the Segunda División B but also Tercera División, also having a spell in Switzerland with SC Young Fellows Juventus.[7] [8]
