Biography

He is most remembered as a Real Madrid player. He came to play for Madrid in 1947 after playing for Caudal de Mieres in his birth city. In the first season at Real Madrid he was loaned to Plus Ultra, the Real Madrid youth team, returning to Real for the 1948-49 season. In this season he played 5 games for the first team. The next season was worse for Adauto, because he only played 3 games for Real Madrid. He was then once again loaned to Plus Ultra, from where he returned to Real Madrid for the 1951-52 season, which would be his last one at the Real Madrid. This season he played only once in La Liga. At the end of the season he was transferred to Celta de Vigo, where he played for the next 4 seasons.[3]

His lack of success for Real Madrid is seen to be produced by the presence of two great goalkeepers of the club, Bañón and Alonso. Despite this, Adauto is considered one of the club's legendary players by the Real Madrid's official website.
