On 21 December 1983, during a European Championship qualifying match against Malta
that had to be won by 11 goals in order to qualify, Santillana scored a hat-trick in the first half and added
a fourth in the second period, as the national side qualified at the expense of the Netherlands – incidentally,
his former understudy at Real Madrid, Hipólito Rincón also netted four times in a 12–1 success.

League career:

1970–1971    Racing Santander    35    (16)
1971–1988    Real Madrid    461    (186)

Total        496    (202 goals)

Best known for his Real Madrid spell, which consisted of 17 La Liga seasons and 643 official games,
he was known for his stellar heading ability despite not reaching 1.80m and is widely regarded as
one of the best strikers in the history of Spanish football.
