Xato de Museros
Vicent Ruiz Sanfélix, better known as Xato de Museros (1932 – 22 February 2021) was a Spanish Valencian pilotari considered the best pointer and midfielder in history,[1] and who together with Ferreret and Ruiz de Museros formed the trio de ferro ("iron trio") during the 1950s.[2]
Born in Museros, Valencian Community, Spain, he made his debut in Massamagrell in 1948, when he went to a game as a member of the audience and was invited to complete a trio.[3] He performed well and was soon called to debut in Pelayo trinquet. He retired on 27 March 1976, when a shot at Moncofa made him lose an eye.[4]
Xato de Museros died on 22 February 2021.
