Club career

Born in Amorebieta-Etxano, Cedrún started playing professionally with local giants Athletic Bilbao, making his first-team debut on 15 April 1951 in a 3–0 home win against Sevilla FC and quickly becoming first-choice.[1] In the 1955–56 season, as the Basques won La Liga, he only conceded 31 goals while playing all 30 matches, and appeared in 402 official games during his 14-year spell.[2]

In 1964, having lost his place to another future club legend, José Ángel Iribar, Cedrún joined RCD Español also of the top division, again returning to starting duties.[3] He retired at 38 in the United States, with the Baltimore Bays.[1]

Mere months after retiring, Cedrún took a hand at coaching, starting in his region with lowly SCD Durango and Barakaldo CF. Most of his career was spent in the lower leagues, his only top-flight experience coming in the 1976–77 campaign with RC Celta de Vigo, with the team ranking second-bottom.[4]

International career

Cedrún earned 13 caps for the Spain national team,[5] his debut coming on 14 March 1954 as the nation battled with Turkey for a spot at the 1954 FIFA World Cup; Spain won 4–2 on aggregate (rule did not apply at the time) and, after a draw in the third match, lost after a drawing of lots.[6]

Cedrún was then selected for the 1962 World Cup, playing two games in three as the country exited in the group stage.[1]

Personal life

Cedrún's son, Andoni, was also a footballer – and a goalkeeper. He too represented Athletic but with little success, appearing mostly for Real Zaragoza in another lengthy career.[7]

Additionally, his younger brother Serafin (another goalkeeper)[8] and nephew Carmelo Mardaras (a defender)[9] both played for Barakaldo,[10] and his great-nephew Markel Areitio (grandson of Serafin) was also a goalkeeper developed at Athletic.[11][12]
