Real Sociedad were one of the leading Spanish teams of the early 80s, winning 2 La Liga titles (in 1981 and 1982), and midfielder Zamora was a mainstay of this side. He played out his entire career with the side from San Sebastian, making over 450 appearances over a 15-year period. Zamora's finest moment was the last-minute equaliser against Sporting Gijon which gave them the point they needed to snatch the title in 1981 from a Real Madrid side that were already celebrating. He remained loyal to Real Sociedad throughout his career. He also represented Spain, including at their home World Cup in 1982. His last international appearance was in the 0-0 draw against England that saw both teams eliminated thanks to a bizarre 2nd stage group format.
