Fernando Gómez Colomer (born 11 September 1965), known simply as Fernando, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
His professional career was closely connected to Valencia with which he made his La Liga debuts at the age of 18, going on to score more than 100 official goals and working with the club in directorial capacities following his retirement.
Fernando represented Spain at the 1990 World Cup.
Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Fernando spent the vast majority of his career at hometown's Valencia CF, representing them during 15 seasons as a senior. He would garner a reputation as an outstanding playmaker who boasted an exceptional scoring record from midfield (he scored 14 league goals twice, ten three times), also being team captain; he played a club record 421 La Liga games for the Che, and also ranked as the fourth highest scorer with 142 goals in all competitions.
Fernando made his debut with the main squad on 15 January 1984 in a 1–2 away loss against Real Valladolid, after moving up from the B-side CD Mestalla. He truly came to the forefront in 1986–87 as the team won promotion back from Segunda División at the first attempt; aside from this campaign he spent all of his spell with Valencia in the top flight, where he twice finished runner-up in the championship, also helping to a runner-up finish in the Copa del Rey of 1995.
Fernando won the Don Balón's Best Spanish Player Award for 1988–89, and broke into the Spanish national team later that year. He finally left the club in August 1998 to join English First Division side Wolverhampton Wanderers on a free transfer; however, he returned to Spain after only one year with the Wolves, signing with Segunda División B's CD Castellón, also in the Valencian Community.
