Eduardo Teus López-Navarro, also known as Teus (6 November, 1896 – 8 October, 1958) was a Filipino professional footballer who played for Real Madrid as a goalkeeper.
Teus was born in Manila, Philippines in 1896 to a Filipino family who were of mixed native and Spanish origin. He won 3 Catalan Spanish league and 1 Copa del Rey championship titles for the club.
At the top of his career, he was forced to retire from football after he suffered a serious injury in a game during the 1918-1919 season.
