Alfonso is fondly remembered by anyone who played CM9798, along with many of the 1997-98 Real Betis side; if you wanted you could have paired him up-front with his brother Ivan Perez Munoz. He went on to score over 50 goals for Betis, followed by a relatively unsuccessful spell at Barcelona and a loan to Marseille before returning to Betis to end his career.

He also accumulated 38 caps for Spain, scoring 11 goals. A point of interest is that Getafe named their stadium after him (Coliseum Alfonso Perez) even though he never played for his hometown club.
