Secundino Suárez Vázquez (born 13 April 1955), known as Cundi, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left-back.
His professional career was intimately connected with Sporting de Gijón, which he represented for 15 years.[1]
Born in Sotrondio, Asturias, Cundi spent his professional career almost entirely with local powerhouse Sporting de Gijón, save for a one-year loan spell with UD Poblense due to compulsory military service.[2] From the age of 20 onwards he was an undisputed starter for the La Liga club, appearing in nearly 400 competitive games during his 15-year spell.[1]
In the 1986–87 season, Cundi played 41 matches (3,549 minutes) for an eventual fourth-place finish. He did not receive one single red card during his career.
Cundi earned nine caps for the Spain national team in two and a half years,[1] and was selected for UEFA Euro 1980. His debut came on 4 October 1978 in a Euro 1980 qualifier against Yugoslavia (2–1 loss in Zagreb).
Cundi's son, Rubén, was also a footballer. An attacking midfielder, he also started out at Sporting de Gijón.[3] [4]
