Club career
editBorn in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Veloso played professionally with Deportivo de La Coruña, Real Madrid, CD Ourense and Rayo Vallecano.[1] He was used almost exclusively as a reserve with the second club, but still managed to score nine goals in only 16 games in the 1966–67 season to win the first of his three La Liga championships.[2] Additionally, he netted three times in just five matches in the European Cup, being part of the squad that won the 1966 edition.[3]
Veloso retired in 1973 aged 36, after one year with local side SD Compostela in the lower leagues.[4]
International career
editVeloso earned four caps for Spain in seven months. Two of his three goals came in the qualifying phase for the 1964 European Nations' Cup, which the country eventually won as hosts; he was overlooked for the finals, however.[5]
