Cristo Marrero
Cristo Marrero Henríquez is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward.
He spent six seasons in Segunda División with Tenerife, for whom he appeared in 169 competitive matches.Born in San Miguel de Abona, Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Marrero started playing football at local club UD Las Zocas, where he stayed for 17 years, never making it past the fourth division during his four seasons as a senior.
In the summer of 2001, Marrero signed with Canary Islands neighbours CD Tenerife, but still went on to spend a further two years with their reserves. He made his second level debut on 31 August 2003 against Deportivo Alavés, and went on to become captain.
After appearing sparingly in the 2008–09 campaign as Tenerife eventually returned to La Liga after seven years, Marrero moved teams but stayed in his native region, signing with Universidad de Las Palmas CF in division three. After two seasons the club folded, and the 32-year-old returned to Las Zocas.
In June 2012, Marrero retired from football and started a coaching career, beginning as an assistant with Tenerife B.
