INFOJesús Ramón Ramírez Ceceña is a Mexican former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Ramírez was meant to be one of the best Mexican players since Hugo Sánchez, but various injuries threatened and stopped his career several times. He was one of the top Mexican footballers in the 1990s, but despite the speculations surrounding his talents, he never moved to Europe to play for a much more competitive club. Ramirez was fast player with great vision and technique, especially known for his wide passing range. Extremly agile on the left side, often coming in opponents box to combine with fast passes to his strikers and finishing the attacks as well. He was good crosser from the flank or set pieces as well as shooting from distance. He showed his best plays when used as side midfielder. In some stages of his carrer he was used also in central midfield as a playmaker due to his great passing skills and technique. Ramon Ramirez started his career in Santos Laguna in 1990, and in 1994 he was transferred to Guadalajara. In 1999, after a lot of speculation and rumors, he was transferred against his will to America, the biggest rival of Guadalajara, a team where he was an idol to the fans. This caused a lot of controversy, since he was an emblematic player of his team. This transfer to the rival club, caused him a lack of form, perhaps due to depression. This turned to be evident in a match between America and his former team, when he scored a goal: the moment was so shocking for him, that he didn't know how to react. Fortunately for him, that goal didn't count due to offside. His lack of form ruled him out of America at the end of the Summer 1999 season. He was then, transferred to Tigres UANL. In this team, he had difficult times to recover; he wasn't even registered with his preferred number 7 (retired in honour to the peruvian player Gerónimo Barbadillo in 1982). He slowly found his form again, and this awarded him another call for Mexican national football team. At the end of the Clausura 2004 season, he joined Chivas USA. In Chivas USA he played the last part of his career, being the captain of the team. He retired from the fields in 2007. Ramon Ramirez scored 15 goals in 121 caps for his country.
