Kiko, real name Francisco Miguel Narváez, (born April 26, 1972 in Jerez de la Frontera) is a former Spanish football striker, who spent most of his career with Atlético Madrid.
Kiko's career began with Cádiz in 1991, and he moved to Atlético Madrid in 1993. He would play eight years for the club, helping them to the Liga and Copa del Rey double in 1996. When Atlético was relegated in 2000, he stayed with the club for a season, before finishing out his career with Extremadura in 2002.
For Spain, Kiko was capped 26 times, scoring five goals, and played for his country at Euro 96 and the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He scored two goals against Bulgaria in the latter tournament, however the goals did not count for anything as Spain were already out of the tournement, despite beating Bulgaria 6 - 1.
[edit] Trivia
Nearly joined English team Bolton Wanderers following their promotion to the Premier League in 2001 but the move broke down as Bolton wanted to see the player on trial first.
