Raúl Tamudo Montero (born 19 October 1977) is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a striker.
An icon at Espanyol, he captained the club for almost a decade, playing in nearly 400 official games – winning two Copas del Rey – and being the club's all-time top goal scorer with 140 goals.
He amassed La Liga totals of 407 games and 146 goals over the course of 17 seasons, also representing in the competition Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano.
Born in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barcelona, Catalonia, Tamudo was a product of local side RCD Espanyol's youth ranks, he served two Segunda División six-month loans before finally settling in 1999–2000. From there on he became an undisputed starter for the team, never scoring in single digits during nine La Liga seasons and helping the Pericos to two Copa del Rey trophies: in the 2000 final against Atlético Madrid he netted by stealing the ball from goalkeeper Toni Jiménez, with his head; he also played a vital role in the 2006 edition, scoring in the second minute of the match and subsequently assisting Luis García on the second goal.
