There are teams that for some reason or other arouse the sympathy of impartial public or football fan who likes the romantic and humble touch with some clubs that reach the elite at one point and stand up to the big. He got something SD Compostela, club which will be discussed today.
The 'Compos' lived its particular 'prodigious decade' in the years 90. Coinciding with the arrival to the presidency Jose Maria Caneda (one of those 'special' presidents of that time) and indispensable figure coach Fernando Castro Santos, Galician club was stringing promotion from Third to First Division nothing more and nothing less.
In the campaign 1989-1990 the Galician side to ascend from third to second B and just one season then gets, for the first time in its history, sneak in professional football to string together a new promotion this time to Second Division after being champion in the playoffs for promotion against Alaves, Badajoz Y Alcoyano.
THE COMPOSTELA A LEAGUE
The Compostela manages to hold in the silver category in which it remains for three seasons until the 1993-1994 finished in third position which entitles you to play the promotion. The Vallecano Ray It was the last obstacle to achieving the dream of playing in the top flight of Spanish football.
After tying both Vallecas like in Saint Lazarus, I had to play a third game playoff on neutral ground. Until Carlos Tartiere of Oviedo they moved over 7.000 'Compos' fans who saw their team achieve a historic victory by 3-1 (goals Fire Y José) and they celebrated the rise overhand. Iru, Modesto II, Tocornal, Modesto I, Bellido, Bodelón, Abbey, Fabiano, Lucas, Fire Y Move were the 11 headlines became the club's history to contest that game in Oviedo.
RUNNER OF WINTER
The base of that team remained First division but significant reinforcements arrived that made the Galicians a very difficult team to beat. After 7 seasons Castro Santos He was replaced on the bench by Fernando Vázquez, who managed the continued competing more so. In fact, the team peaked at the end of the first round of the season 1995-1996 in which he finished second place behind champion would be, the Atletico Madrid. The entity that campaign achieved its best finish in the league (tenth).
Christiansen, Fire, Steps, Fabiano or incombustible Abbey, They formed the backbone of the team. We can not forget Mauro Y Nacho, poniards by bands and later figures as Lubo Penev What did 32 goals in the two seasons he wore the shirt compostelana.
DESCENT Second Division
But nevertheless, after four seasons in Primera in which we all became a bit of the 'Lineups‘, He came the decline. The team finished in 17th place and had to play with promotion Villarreal. This time after tying both Villarreal (0-0) and Compostela (1-1), Galicia fell by the double value of the goals scored away from home.
Since then, economic problems, refundaciones and pure survival. The SD Compostela roams the meanest football again hoping that you get the opportunity to go back and taste the sweet taste of success of those wonderful years 90.
