Miguel Adrover Torregrosa

Miguel Adrover Torregrosa (25 April 1922 – 26 June 1945), was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Hércules and Atlético Madrid in the early 1940s.

Early life and education Miguel Adrover was born in the Alicante neighborhood of San Blas on 25 April 1922, as the son of Manuela Torregrosa and Catalino Adrover, a railway worker at Alicante-Término Station. He studied at the Salesian schools in the Ensanche of Alicante, where he developed a deep interest in football. Adrover played for the first team of Arenas de San Blas, where he excelled as a right-footed winger, so he was then signed by Alicante CF.

Death In May 1945, the 23-year-old Adrover, then in the best form of his career, sustained an illness that remains unclear, although some point to indigestion.
