Pedro Alberto Cano Arenas (18 June 1969 – 20 July 2002), known as Pedro Alberto, was a Spanish footballer who played as a central defender.
Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Pedro Alberto joined Real Oviedo in 1991 from lowly CF Palencia.[1] He made his La Liga debut on 29 February of the following year by starting in a 0–2 home loss against FC Barcelona,[2] [3] but was only a backup or reserve team player for the vast majority of his spell in Asturias, his best output consisting of 33 matches and one goal[4] in the 1995–96 season to help the club to finish 14th in the top flight, thus avoiding relegation.
After leaving in summer 1996, Pedro Alberto played a further four years at the professional level, representing Deportivo Alavés[5] and CD Toledo in the Segunda División. He also competed with the latter in the Segunda División B.[3]
On 20 July 2002, just three days into preseason with his new team, third-tier Novelda CF, Pedro Alberto had just finished a short sprint and was preparing to stretch, when he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. His death was attributed to a cerebral hemorrhage, and the 33-year-old left behind a seven-month pregnant wife.[6]
