Here you can see the 3 best players of the 1976-77 season in the 1st Division: the
goalkeeper Manzanedo, the midfielder from the former Yugoslavia Sergio Kresic, and
the famous striker Juan Gomez "Juanito", without doubt the best spanish player of that
time, that soon was transferred to the Real Madrid.
Were 4 amazing seasons in the 1st league with great players and great matches against
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Ath. Bilbao, At. Madrid ....

This is a beautiful photo of the beginning of the 1980-81 season. After sell each season after
each season the best players to get money and equilibrate the economic matters, in this season
the club fall into the 2nd Division.
And the worst are to came. After two seasons in the 2nd division with poor attendances at the
El Plantio stadium, the debts of the club were used by the Spanish Federation to make a
punition to the club that consisted in go back again to the 2nd B Division.
This was a very hard damage for the club that not resist the bankrupcy and the summer of
1983 was disolved. The club dissapear and all the debts.
