Fans of a Liverpool FC persuasion are still having nightmares about three-time UEFA Europa League winner Coke, but what do you know about FC Schalke 04's new Spanish recruit? Allow bundesliga.com to fill in the blanks…

Jorge Andujar Moreno, or Coke as he known, was born and raised in the Spanish capital city Madrid. A product of the Rayo Vallecano de Madrid youth system, he made his first senior start for Los Franjirrojos in 2005/06, aged 18. He became an integral member of the side in no time at all, making 32 appearances in his debut season alone.

In 2007/08, Coke's lung-busting forays up the right-hand side and three goals helped Rayo gain promotion to Spain's Segunda Division after a number of near-misses in the preceding years. By the end of the 2010/11 campaign, the Madrid-based outfit were celebrating promotion to La Liga following an eight-year absence.
