Club career
Ferreira was born in Saucelle, Province of Salamanca. During a steady professional career he represented, with equal individual success, Athletic Bilbao (two stints) Atlético Madrid, Sevilla FC and Valencia CF, retiring in 2001 at the age of 34 after a slow year with Rayo Vallecano – the Madrid outskirts team finished in 14th position, but he appeared in less than one third of the league games.
Ferreira amassed more than 400 official appearances during his 17-year senior career, 358 in La Liga alone, scoring 22 goals in the competition. His best individual season was 1987–88 as the 20-year-old netted six times in 35 matches to help the Basque to the fourth position; his only spell in Segunda División was with his first club's reserves Bilbao Athletic, in the mid-80s.
International career
Ferreira played twice for Spain in as many friendlies, the first being a 1–2 loss with Yugoslavia in Oviedo on 14 September 1988.[1]
