Alejandro Sánchez (footballer, born 1970)

The following year, his first full season with Toledo, he made 17 appearances, and also netted his only goal for the club. This came in a 2–1 win over Leganés at their new stadium, Estadio Municipal de Butarque, on 2 May 1999. His final match for Toledo was the 2–1 home defeat at the hands of champions Málaga on 12 June, as he left the club at the end of the season.

Madrid side Getafe were Segunda División B group champions in 1998–99, and Sánchez joined them ahead of their first season back in the Segunda División after three years away. He was an immediate fixture in the team, making his debut on the 22nd August in a 2–1 away loss to Badajoz at the brand new Estadio Nuevo Vivero. This was followed by his home debut six days later, against Extremadura at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, which also resulted in a 2–1 loss. Despite this shaky start, after a 1–0 away win against Sanchez's former team, Albacete, on the last day of the season, Getafe found themselves clear of relegation by two points. The Albacete game would transpire to be Sánchez's last as a professional, as he retired at the end of the season, just shy of his 30th birthday.

He didn't play again for Albacete after their relegation, although he remained at the club for another 18 months before leaving in December 1997.

Sánchez switched clubs midway through the 1997–98 Segunda División season, joining Albacete's fellow Castilian-Manchegan club Toledo. He made his debut on 17 December in a home fixture against his former club, Atlético Madrid B. Toledo lost the match at Estadio Salto del Caballo 1–0, but Sánchez quickly established himself in the team, and played 19 games before the end of the season. The only hiccup came as he was sent off in a home match against Lleida, although the hosts held on for a 1–0 victory.

This goal was met at his next club, Albacete Balompié, who he joined in 1995. Curiously, his Albacete debut came at the same venue, against the same opponents, as that for Atlético: Sporting de Gijón at El Molinón. Albacete lost 3–0, but Sánchez had more success on his home debut a week later, as they beat Sevilla 3–2 at Estadio Carlos Belmonte on 9 September. On 24 September, he scored what would turn out to be his only Albacete goal, in a 4–0 home win over Celta Vigo. He played 31 times that season, but didn't feature after a 1–0 to Valencia at Mestalla Stadium on 7 April. This meant he wasn't present for the relegation playoff games against Extremadura, which Albacete lost.

Towards the end of the season, it was decided that Sánchez, while not yet ready for a more permanent role with the first team, needed experience at a higher level than the B team could provide. He therefore joined Atlético Marbella of the Segunda División on loan in May 1993. He made his Marbella debut on 29 May, as a second-half substitute for Juan Antonio Lozano in a 3–1 home loss to Racing Santander. His full debut, and only other appearance before the end of the season, came a week later at home to Real Madrid B. He started in the 3–0 defeat, but was withdrawn in the second half in favour of Juan José Almagro.

Sánchez spent the entirety of the 1993–94 season with Marbella, making 35 appearances. His strong performances allowed him to have a more prominent role when he returned to his parent club the following year, as he played eleven matches. He scored his first La Liga goal at home to Sevilla on 29 January: having come on early in the second half for Toni Muñoz, he scored a 75th-minute equaliser, and helped nine-man Atlético to a 2–2 draw.

Sánchez's performances for Pegaso did not go unnoticed, and he joined one of Madrid's biggest teams, Atlético Madrid, in 1991. Initially, he played for the newly renamed Atlético Madrid B (formerly Atlético Madrileño), who were erstwhile rivals of Pegaso in Segunda División B. He made his debut in the opening match of the 1991–92 Segunda División B campaign, a 1–1 draw away at Tomelloso on 1 September. A week later, he made his home debut at the Vicente Calderón Stadium in a 1–0 win over Alcoyano. He ultimately made 32 appearances in a successful first season with Atleti.

He played for a variety of clubs in Spain's top three divisions, including 41 appearances in La Liga with Atlético Madrid and Albacete Balompié in the mid-1990s.

Sánchez was born in the Spanish capital, Madrid, and began his career with local minnows Pegaso. His breakthrough season was the 1990–91 Segunda División B campaign, as he made his debut in Pegaso's opening fixture, a 2–2 draw at home to Ourense on 2 September. His next game was a Copa del Rey first round match away at Atlético Valdemoro; he was sent off, and the match ended 3–3. Despite this setback, he featured in all 38 of Pegaso's league games that season, and also scored twice: in a 1–1 away draw against Pontevedra at Estadio Municipal de Pasarón on 10 February, and a 3–0 away win over Atlético Madrileño at Vicente Calderón Stadium. However, he couldn't prevent Pegaso's relegation, as they finished two points shy of safety in 17th place, which was confirmed following a 1–0 home loss to Lugo on the final day of the season.
