Club career
Born in Madrid, Velázquez spent all of his 12 years in La Liga with Real Madrid.

In the 1967–68 campaign, Velázquez netted a career-best ten goals from 28 appearances – including a hat-trick in a 9–1 home routing of Real Sociedad[4]– conquering the second of his domestic leagues. He ended his career at the age of 35, after six months in the North American Soccer League with Toronto Metros-Croatia.[5]

Velázquez gained ten caps for the Spanish national team, during eight years. He made his debut on 1 February 1967, in a 0–0 away draw in Turkey for the UEFA Euro 1968 qualifiers.[6]

Velázquez died on 15 January 2016 in Fuengirola, Andalusia. He was 72 years old.[7][8]
