Miquel Garrobé i Fargas

Miguel Garrobé Fargas (10 June 1904 – 1954) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for Valencia and the Spanish national B team in the late 1920s.

Club career Born in the Catalonian town of Barcelona on 10 June 1904, Garrobé began his football career at his hometown club Júpiter in 1921, with whom he played for two years, until 1923, when he joined Europa, where he quickly stood out as a great defender who possessed a good head game and a defensive anticipation ability that was ahead of his time. In 1929, he joined Gimnástica de Torrelavega, where he retired in 1930, aged only 26. starting in the quarter-finals against Gipuzkoa (2–1), and in the semifinals against Biscay (1–0), both at Les Corts, but then missing the final, which was won by Barça.

On 29 May 1927, Garrobé earned his first (and only) international cap for Spain B, in a friendly against Portugal's A side held at the Metropolitano, helping his side to a 2–0 win.

Later life and death Garrobé briefly worked as a Manager, guiding Badajoz in the 1948–49 season. He died in 1954, at the age of either 49 or 50.
