Martín Vellisca González (born 22 August 1971) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left winger.
He played 220 La Liga matches over seven seasons, in representation of Salamanca (three years) and Zaragoza (four).
Vellisca was born in Madrid. After starting out at Atlético Madrid B and amateurs CF Valdepeñas, he began his professional career at local club Getafe CF before joining UD Salamanca in 1993. He was an undisputed first-choice from the start, never playing less than 34 games while also experiencing two La Liga promotions and as many relegations to Segunda División;[1] [2] in the 1997–98 season, as the team retained their top-division status, he participated in a 4–1 win against eventual champions FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou.[3]
From 1999 to 2004, Vellisca represented Real Zaragoza, totalling 104 league matches with eight goals in his first three seasons. After helping the Aragonese to a 2003 return to the top flight, he was only a fringe player the following campaign, and left the side with two Copa del Rey trophies.[4]
Vellisca retired in 2008 at age 37, having spent two seasons each with UD Almería (second tier) and lowly Logroñés CF.[5]
