Real Madrid youth product V�CTOR S�NCHEZ made 65 appearances for the biggest and richest club from Spain and was a fundamental part in their Liga-winning team in 1997. But after three seasons in their first team he was asked to leave and the winger joined Racing Santander in 1998. He scored 12 goals for them in the season 1998/1999 and his performances convinced both Deportivo president Lendoiro and coach Irureta, resulting in a July 1999 transfer to Galicia.
V�ctor S�nchez is a very fast, skilful player who can play on both wings. But at Deportivo he has been a starter at the right wing and rarely was left out of the team in the past five seasons. His 'worst' season was the 2001/2002 one when he still played 29 Liga matches, and in total he has played more than 150 for Deportivo. In addition, he scores a good amount of goals per season (42 in the Primera Divisi�n) and always has been among the players with most assists in the Spanish Liga.
The player made his Spanish debut on 23 February 2000 and has since made six appearances in total for the national side. But his final one was in 2001 when he played during a friendly against Mexico, although new Spanish coach Luis Aragon�s may take him back. It is doubtful if he'll remain a Deportivo player by then because there are rumours every summer about possible moves away from the club. He had previously been rumoured to join Valencia's ranks, while the latest 2004 rumour linked him to Atl�tico.
The most famous anecdote about the winger, according to a rumour spread around La Coru�a, is that he had died in a car accident. Another one is that his father runs a bar in the centre of Madrid that always shows the matches Deportivo plays. Nothing false about this one though.
Liverpool poised to sign Victor

Reds close in on Victor swoop
By Francisco Acedo - Created on 27 Jan 2006
Liverpool are poised to follow up the capture of Robbie Fowler with the signing of Deportivo La Coruna winger Victor.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez has made no secret of his desire to bring in a winger during the January transfer window and had been linked with a host of names.
Benitez has seen moves for Atletico Madrid's Luciano Galletti and Benfica's Simao Sabrosa hit the rocks, prompting the Spaniard to switch his attentions across La Primera to Depor.
The Reds are close to striking an accord with Depor and Victor has not made the trip to Madrid for the weekend clash with Atletico.
Victor, who has recently returned to fitness following a thigh injury, is expected to head to Merseyside on Sunday to discuss terms and undergo a medical.
A three-and-a-half-year deal is set to be put on the table and Benitez will hope to wrap up the transfer before the window slams shut on Tuesday.
Victor has class in abundance, having turned out for Real Madrid in the past, and Benitez will hope the 29-year-old can add some attacking thrust to his side.

Reds eye Depor star
By Francisco Acedo - Created on 10 Oct 2004
Liverpool are understood to be lining up a move for Deportivo La Coruna star Victor.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is a long-term admirer of the player, and sees the Spain international as the answer to the problem right side of midfield position at Anfield.
Benitez tried to sign the former Real Madrid star during his time at Valencia, but was frustrated by Depor's elevated valuation of the player.
However, with more spending power at his disposal now he is with Liverpool, a renewed bid for the 28-year-old looks likely when the transfer window reopens in January.
Benitez has already brought four Spaniards to Anfield since taking over, but an injury to winger Antonio Nunez has left him short of options on the right side of midfield.
Ironically, Benitez could well face competition from former club Valencia for Victor's services, with Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid also reportedly interested.
Despite being a regular for Depor, the Galician outfit could well be persuaded to part with their midfielder - who is under contract at The Riazor until June 2006 - if a sizeable offer comes in.
Boss Javier Irureta is thought to be lining up a swoop for Andres D'Alessandro and could use any proceeds from Victor's sale to fund a move for Wolfsburg's Argentine star.
For his part, Victor insisted he was fully focused on playing for Depor and claimed he was not thinking about a possible transfer.
"My objective at the moment is Deportivo and I do not want to think about other clubs," he stated.
"This is a matter for the clubs and does not involve me at this point."

and long may they rub it in 
) just think its 'right' that he gets a chance here again,and the club gets a chance to to make up for the way he was treated by GH,so it's hard to be dissapointed football wise when your not expecting anything anyway.We've paid nothing for him,and it could only be for 6 mths so i cant see how the club could lose out too much from this,but its just possible that we could gain so much.The 6 mts wages will prob be covered by shirt sales by the weekend,so thats not a prob.And just how much would i love to be there the next time we play at Anfield ?
