Template:Spanish name 2 Andoni Cedrún Ibarra (born June 5, 1960 in Durango, Biscay) is a retired Spanish footballer, who played as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Cedrún was a youth product at Athletic de Bilbao, and managed to appear in 21 first-team matches during his first professional season, at only 20. This was prior to the promotion of another Lezama graduate, legendary Andoni Zubizarreta, which then left him two years without any league appearances.

After a single season at Cádiz CF (only 15 matches and relegation), Cedrún joined Real Zaragoza, proceeding to amass 144 topflight appearances in his first four years.

In 1988–89, the Aragonese signed Paraguayan José Luis Chilavert, and Cedrún would be again second-choice during two seasons. However, he managed to bounce back at age 30, going on to start again in the following three.

From 1993 onwards, Cedrún began facing some competition from Real Madrid youth graduate Juanmi and, after no matches in 1995–96, left for a single season at lowly CD Logroñés, retiring subsequently.

Honours

Personal
