Juan José Jiménez Collar (born 29 July 1957), known as Juan José, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right-back.

Nicknamed Sandokan due to striking similarities with the fictional character,[1] he was mainly associated with Cádiz, but also spent three years with Real Madrid, appearing in 231 La Liga games in exactly ten seasons.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Cádiz, Andalusia, Juan José started his professional career with hometown club Cádiz CF, in the Segunda División. In 1982 he signed with La Liga giants Real Madrid,[2] being relatively used over three seasons; his only piece of silverware arrived in his last, but he had already lost his starting job to youngster Chendo.[3]

Juan José closed out his career with his first team, helping the Andalusians to six consecutive top-flight campaigns,[4] with the player averaging 25 games per year. He retired at the age of 34.[5]

International career

[edit]

Juan José played four times for Spain, all coming in matches for the UEFA Euro 1984 qualifiers where the side eventually finished runners-up, although he did not make the final cut.[6][5] He was the first Cádiz player to ever be called by the national team.[7]

Post-retirement

[edit]

After retiring, Juan José was forced to return to active due to economic problems, working for several years in a shipyard amongst other jobs.[1] In June 1993, he was arrested for his alleged participation in a cocaine distribution network.[8]
