Andoni Zubizarreta Urreta (born October 23, 1961 in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Araba) is a former Spanish football goalkeeper, and the all-time most capped player for the Spanish national team. Despite being born in Vitoria-Gasteiz he spent his childhood in Aretxabaleta (Gipuzkoa). Zubizarreta started his playing career at his hometown club of Aretxabaleta (1977-79), club named UDA. He then played for Deportivo Alavés (1979-80). He then went on to play for Athletic Bilbao (1980-86), where he won two successive La Liga championships in 1983 and 1984. After moving to FC Barcelona (1986-94) he won four La Liga championships and a European Cup in 1992 in a very successful period for the club. His final club was Valencia CF (1994-98). His 622 Liga matches is the all-time appearance record. He made his debut for Spain on 23 January 1985 in a 3-1 victory over Finland, going on to play in a record 126 games until his retirement in 1998. He kept goal for his country in four consecutive World Cups: 1986, 1990, 1994, and 1998. He also played in Euro 88 and Euro 96.

Today, after 3 years as sporting director of Athletic Bilbao, he is a radio and television commentator.
