In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Ramírez and the second or maternal family name is Pineda.
He was nicknamed Pancho Ra' and was the biggest transfer in the Honduran league, at that time, when Marathón acquired him from Platense in 2006 for 1,6 million lempiras.[1]
Ramírez started his career at Motagua where he started scoring goals and caught the eye of foreign clubs. In 2000, Ramírez and two teammates from Motagua, Reynaldo Clavasquín and Gustavo Fuentes, were transferred to Scottish Premier League club Dundee United.[2] All three had their contracts cancelled within a few weeks, in Ramírez's case after only four minutes of first team action when he came in as a sub against Celtic on 21 October 2000.[3]
He then returned to Motagua before a prolific spell at Platense and a less successful stint at Marathón. In October 2003 he scored his 50th league goal against Vida.[4] When at Platense, Ramírez was top goalscorer of the 2005 Apertura season with 13 goals[5] and, by May 2009, was the Honduran league's third top goalscorer of all time with 95 goals scored for 4 different teams.[6]
He seemed to end his career at Salvadoran side Vista Hermosa and returned to Honduras in 2009 to drive tourists around in his hometown Amapala with a motorcycle taxi.[7]
In January 2010 he moved abroad again to play for Nicaraguan side Walter Ferretti[8] for whom he would score 10 goals.[9]
