Roberto López Ufarte was a quick, tricky winger who became one of the emblematic figures of Real Sociedad’s finest era. Small and elusive, he tormented full-backs with his dribbling and contributed important goals as the Basque club rose to the summit of Spanish football.
He was central to Real Sociedad’s league title successes in the early 1980s and earned caps for Spain, remembered for the flair and directness that lit up his side’s attacking play.
