Playing career Guillermo Villagrá was born in Buenos Aires on 7 June 1907, as the son of Spanish immigrants who, while he was still young, returned to the Basque Country. Like any good Argentine, Villagrá was an intense and aggressive player, who took contact to the limit. He had a tremendous physical capacity, following the ball all over the field, recovering balls tirelessly, and at times it seemed like he was going to keep running even after the final whistle. He also won two in 1934 and 1937.

Death Villagrá died in Valencia on 18 February 1970, at the age of 62.
