Club career

Born in Madrid, Ramos finished his youth career at Atlético Madrid, making his La Liga debut on 9 September 1979 and scoring in the 3–2 away win over Hércules CF. He remained a first-team regular until the end of his tenure, helping the capital side to win the 1985 Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España.[https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2013/05/quique-ramos-top-ten-atletico/ Quique Ramos Top Ten atlético (Quique Ramos atlético Top Ten)]; Cuadernos de Fútbol, 1 May 2013 (in Spanish)

However, after the 1987–88 season, mainly due to serious personal problems with elusive club chairman Jesús Gil,[http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/SETIEN/_QUIQUE/RAMOS/_QUIQUE/ARTECHE/_JUAN_CARLOS/GIL_Y_GIL/_JESuS/ATLeTICO_DE_MADRID_S/D/_/CLUB_DE_FuTBOL/elpepidep/19881202elpepidep_13/Tes/ Arteche, Landáburu, Quique y Setién ganan a Gil en los juzgados, pero no juegan (Arteche, Landáburu, Quique and Setién win court battle with Gil, but do not play)]; El País, 2 December 1988 (in Spanish) he left the Colchoneros and retired altogether – after one year of inactivity – in June 1990, with lowly Rayo Vallecano, being relegated from La Liga.[https://elpais.com/diario/1989/07/08/deportes/615852015_850215.html Quique Ramos, al Rayo (Quique Ramos, to Rayo)]; El País, 7 July 1989 (in Spanish)
