Isidro Lángara, a doctorate in football and an outstanding cum laude in the art of scoring goals, now enters the University of Oviedo through a great anthological exhibition that brings the figure of the Real Oviedo footballer closer to the general public.
The exhibition, organized by the Real Oviedo Foundation and the Ibero-American Asicom Foundation, will be open from March 23 to April 1 in the upper cloister of the Historic Building of the University of Oviedo.
Under the title Lángara, the Lord of Goals, the exhibition showcases a unique collection of items related to the biography of the greatest Spanish scorer of all time. In addition to materials owned by Real Oviedo and some private collections, the exhibition features a large number of photos, publications, medals, and personal items that were preserved for decades first by Lángara himself and later by his family, which the general public now has the opportunity to enjoy.
The Real Oviedo Foundation and the Ibero-American Communication Foundation, with the invaluable collaboration of the University of Oviedo, BSB Expresión Gráfica, and the generous and essential support of the Lángara family, are proud that this exhibition has become a reality, paying tribute to a great athlete who always demonstrated great human values despite the tough life that fate had in store for him.
Isidro Lángara is considered the greatest Spanish scorer of all time by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics. He still holds the record for the best goals-per-game average in Spain's First Division and the best scoring average with the Spanish national team. He is the only footballer in the history of the league to have achieved hat-tricks in three consecutive matches in the top division of Spanish football. And no one needed as few matches as he did to reach one hundred goals in Spain's First Division.
