Jesús Mariano Angoy Gil (born 22 May 1966) is a Spanish retired association football goalkeeper, who also played as a placekicker in American football.
He appeared in nine La Liga matches for his main club Barcelona over five seasons, being mostly third-choice. He has been diagnosed with Parkinson in November 2022.
Born in Alagón, Zaragoza, Angoy was a product of FC Barcelona's youth ranks. He made his professional debut with CD Logroñés however, and, already well in his 20s, spent several seasons with the Catalans' B-team, playing three years in the second division.[1]
After the departure of legendary Andoni Zubizarreta and prior to the arrival of Vítor Baía, Angoy profited from some injuries to first-choice Carles Busquets to appear in nine La Liga matches. As the 1995–96 campaign drew to a close, both him and manager Johan Cruyff (whose daughter was married to the player)[2] [3] left the club; after an unassuming spell at Córdoba CF, he retired from football.[1]
Angoy spent seven years (1996–2003) at NFL Europe side Barcelona Dragons's kicker,[4] then switched to Italy with the Bergamo Lions (IFL). In 1999, he had an unsuccessful trial with the Denver Broncos, the reigning champions of the National Football League.[5] [2]
Three years later, Angoy was selected to NFL Europe's All-Offensive team.[6]
