Oceano Andrade da Cruz was the last player to score a goal in Atocha. Portugal was one of those signings of 90 when football was something else. International with Portugal in 54 occasions, He came to the Royal Society in 1991 where he remained until 1994 Although he retired in 1999 in the French Toulouse. With the Portuguese national team, Eusebio played until 1998. Despite not being a born goalscorer, He scored a goal that fans will remember donostiarras, the goal that closed the history of Atocha, the legendary Coliseum donostiarra for decades.
Portuguese nationality but born in Cape Verde 1962, it happens that two of his 8 is the international goals scored in Spain. one in 1991 y el otro en 1994 but as we said, the goal that is most remembered in Spain was marking the 13 June 1993 and closed 80 years of football, barro, goals and emotions because Atocha, It was one of those mythical stadium of Spanish football.
Oceano came with Carlos Xabier San Sebastián and left together the same year and the same team. His arrival, He raised some excitement and together, They moved the strings in midfield of the Royal Society for the 3 years they were first Atocha and then in Anoeta. A couple of Portuguese although both of African origin, where you put the talent and the other muscle.
Far from the prototype of the current footballer, San Sebastian fans will always remember for his work Oceano, pundonor and delivery so far from the glamor of some current players. as colophon, also say that the Portuguese also marked one of the goals scored in the opening of the equalizing Anoeta 2 against Real Madrid, special guest at this event but this time, the match was friendly. But it does not matter because Oceano, It is history of the Royal Society.
