About José Antonio Urreaga

Lived 1910 – 1975 (aged 65). José Antonio Urreaga was a Spanish association football player.

José Antonio Urreaga Goldaracena (20 April 1910 – 5 October 1975) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Logroñés and Osasuna in the early 1930s.

Career Born on 20 April 1910 in Iloilo, Philippines, Urreaga began his career at Osasuna in 1929, aged 19, with whom he played 10 official matches in the 1929–30, all in the Gipuzkoa Championship, although some sources wrongly attribute him a further two matches in the Segunda División in June 1929, which were actually played by Filomeno Urdiroz.

In 1930, Urreaga joined Logroñés, with whom he played for three years, until 1933, when he returned to Osasuna, where he played for a further three years, until 1936, helping his side achieve promotion to the top flight in 1935. In total, he played 4 La Liga matches for Osasuna.

The club was hit hard by the rearguard repression following the outbreak of Spanish Civil War, but like so many other Osasuna players, Urreaga did not hesitate to express his political leanings, often boasting about it in the so-called war matches, held to give "signs of normalcy" to the rearguard. He ended up as a "deputy director" of Naviera Aznar in Bilbao. He also had at least one daughter, Verónica.

Death Urreaga died on 5 October 1975, at the age of 65.
