Pablo González Couñago (born 9 August 1979) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a striker.
After having played in 35 La Liga matches for Celta and Málaga scoring three goals (75/11 both major levels of Spanish football combined) – he spent the bulk of his professional career in England with Ipswich Town, where he scored a total of 65 official goals.
Couñago represented Spain in the 1999 World Youth Championship, winning the tournament.
Born in Redondela, Province of Pontevedra, Galicia, and a product of local Celta de Vigo's youth ranks, Couñago made his professional debuts in the second division, loaned to CD Numancia, but returned in January 1999 to his first club, failing to appear in La Liga in his first spell.
In 1999–2000 he returned to the second level, yet on loan, now with Recreativo de Huelva, after which he returned to Vigo, still with no impact (all of his league appearances were made from the bench).
After impressing in a Spanish under-21 4–0 win over England at Birmingham City's ground, Couñago was signed by Ipswich Town in the late spring of 2001, as manager George Burley had been in the stands watching his performance. The player, who was out of contract, signed a four-year deal.

How to pronounce Pablo Couñago (Spanish/Spain) - PronounceNames.com
In the public eye theyÅ e fabricated you.
Chose your selling points to sell.
Became an object they can hate or pursue.
But no one asked just how you felt.
But donÅ you think I feel?
DonÅ you think IÅ real?
Are you so dull that you donÅ have a clue?
And I donÅ think itÅ right, this invasion in my life.
No, one day youÅ l feel what IÅ going through.
In the public eye youÅ e always on stage.
TheyÅ e magnified your every move.
Free to roam around in your golden cage.
But you better watch just what you do.
And youÅ e bound by their chains,
youÅ e not allowed to change.
In the public eye.
And youÅ e living a life you must defend in the public eye.
In this world you exchange the right to know whoÅ your real friend
and why itÅ a loserÅ game that I canÅ win,
I can only try.
