Jesús Pedret

Jesús Pedret González (1905 – 29 June 1933) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Valencia in the late 1920s. He also played four matches for the Catalan national team and was called up to the Spain national team in the mid-1920s, but never made his debut.

Club career Born in the Catalonian town of Barcelona in 1905, Pedret began his career at his hometown club Sants in 1922, aged 17, with whom he played for five years, until 1927, when he was signed by Valencia, which had been impressed by his performances in Algirós in 1922 and Mestalla in 1925. This move, however, was controversial, since Pedret did it without Sants' consent, signing under the pseudonym "Olegario", which caused some reports to list Olegario as Pedret's substitute in the 1926–27 squad. This deception resulted in a federal case, which was quite notorious at the time because Pedret had recently established himself as Spain's second-choice behind Ricardo Zamora. The following day, the journalists of the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo stated that "Pedret, without achieving the brilliance of the previous Wednesday in the Czechoslovak capital, due to the reduced number of chances in front of his goal, continued to be a reliable and effective goalkeeper".

Death Pedret died on 29 June 1933, at the age of 28.
