MADRID — Enrique Castro González, a prolific Spanish soccer player known as Quini who was also remembered for being kidnapped at gunpoint in a case that unsettled the nation, died on Tuesday in Gijón, on the northern coast of Spain. He was 68.
His death was confirmed by Sporting de Gijón, the club with which he had two stints as a player and for which he continued to work as an official after retiring in 1987.
He was reported to have had a heart attack while walking along a street near his home in Gijón, a port city in the Asturias region.
