About José Maria Tormo
Lived 1894 – 1970 (aged 75). José Maria Tormo was a Spanish association football player and tennis player.
José María Tormo Tarrés (22 July 1894 – 4 January 1970) was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Espanyol. Besides football, he also played tennis. Tormo was one of the few Salut players who become a regular starter in the first team of Casual, which was mainly made up of former FC Barcelona players, such as José Quirante, the Comamala brothers (Carles and Arsenio), the Wallace brothers (Charles and Percy), and Romà Solà.
In March 1913, Casual participated in the most important tournament of its short history, the fourth edition of the Pyrenees Cup, with Tormo starting for Casual in the quarterfinals against Barça, which ended in a humiliating 7–0 loss. When the club disappeared in June 1913, some of its players joined RCD Espanyol, such as the Wallace brothers and Tormo, and together, they helped their new club win the 1914–15 Catalan championship after beating Barça 4–0 in the title-deciding play-off; Tormo scored a second-half brace, thus contributing decisively for Espanyol's triumph. Those two goals saw him finish that season with seven goals, which was enough to make him the tournament's top scorer, with one more than runner-up José Segarra of FC Barcelona. He stayed loyal to the club for three years, until 1916, scoring a total of 16 goals in 30 official matches.
Espada died in Barcelona on 4 January 1970, at the age of 75.
