Momo (Spanish footballer)
Spanish footballer
Jerónimo Figueroa Cabrera (born 15 July 1982), known as Momo, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a winger.
Club career
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Momo was signed from hometown's UD Las Palmas in 2004 by Deportivo de La Coruña. Rarely used at Depor, he served three loans in four years: Albacete Balompié, Racing de Santander and Segunda División side Xerez CD. His La Liga debut came on 29 August 2004 as he played 33 minutes for Albacete in a 1–0 away loss to Sevilla FC, and all of his five league appearances for the Galicians came during the next season, four of them also from the bench; he was definitely released in August 2008.
For 2008–09, already a free agent, Momo remained at Xerez, being instrumental in the Andalusians' first-ever promotion to the top flight by scoring 17 goals in the league alone (fifth-best in the competition). His attacking production decreased significantly the following campaign as he only found the net on two occasions, both against Málaga CF on 7 March 2010 in a 4–2 away win; he put his team ahead in the fifth minute, then volleyed home the rebound after his penalty kick had been saved by Gustavo Munúa with 18 minutes to go.
In late June 2010, after the club's relegation, Momo signed with neighbouring Real Betis, which in turn had failed to promote. He appeared only in 18 games during the season due to injury problems – 13 starts, 980 minutes of action – as this time the goal was achieved, as champions.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Momo (Spanish footballer)” as spanish footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as spanish footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2527892. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2004, 2008 and 2010.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
