Career
Montañés, born in Talavera de la Reina, Spain in 1953, moved to Germany with his parents when he was 14 years old.[1]
Montañés joined Aachen in 1972 after having played for the youth teams of Eschweiler SG and Stolberger SV. Aachen was playing in the tier two Regionalliga West at the time, having been relegated from the Bundesliga at the end of the 1969–70 season. He would play for the club in the Regionalliga until 1974, in the new 2. Bundesliga Nord until 1981 and in the single-division 2. Bundesliga, making 541 appearances for the club all up. Montañés' 477 2. Bundesliga games[2] is the second-most for any player in the league and the most played for an individual club.[3]
Montañés retired from professional football to work as a coach of local amateur teams while Alemannia Aachen, in its first season without him, suffered relegation from the 2. Bundesliga.[4]
