Donis Salatiel Escober Izaguirre (born 3 February 1981) is a Honduran retired football goalkeeper.
Born in San Ignacio, Escober started at Olimpia's youth side Juventud Olímpica[2] and has played his entire professional career for Olimpia.
In March 2012, Escober was on the verge of breaking Motagua's Nicaraguan goalkeeper Róger Mayorga's 36 years old-record of 838 minutes without conceding a goal in the Honduran league.[3] He did not make it in the end, after being beaten by a Marathón goal that left Escober only 35 minutes short of Mayorga's record.[4] After the 2018–19 Liga Nacional de Honduras came to an end, Escober announced that he would not continue with Olimpia and that he would retire from football.[5]
