One online poker room has signed on a soccer playing legend. Poker site 888Poker now has Santiago Cañizares as part of their crew. The football legend will be a brand ambassador for 888.com, which owns 888poker.

Cañizares is a former Spanish national goalkeeper and has a Champions League title as well as two La Liga medals and a UEFA Cup.
