Club career [edit]
A youth graduate of FC Barcelona, Velamazán appeared 11 times for the first team during 1995–96, under Johan Cruyff, but could never establish fully in the main squad, going on to have one-season spells with Real Oviedo, Albacete Balompié and CF Extremadura.
Incidentally, he would settle with Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol, where he played for six years, although he would only start regularly in two. His best season would be 1999–2000, as the player scored six goals in 34 matches and the club also won the Copa del Rey – only ranking 14th in the league however.
In 2005, Velamazán returned to the second division as he signed for UD Almería for one year, after which he returned to his region, joining lowly CE L'Hospitalet and remaining there until his retirement at the end of the 2010–11 season, aged 34.[1][2]
International career [edit]
Velamazán played and started all six matches (although only one complete) at the 2000 Summer Olympics, scoring once as the Spanish team finished second.[3]
