Club career

Goiburu spent his entire club career in the Spanish first division, including FC Barcelona for 5 seasons.[2] He moved to the Catalan club from Osasuna for a fee of 25,000 pesetas (150 Euros) in 1929, following the match against England.[3]

International career

Goiburu made his first appearance for Spain against Hungary on 19 December 1926.[4] On 15 May 1929, Spain played a friendly match against England, who were widely considered to be the best football team at the time. They had previously beaten France and Belgium 4–1 and 5–1 respectively.[5] However, Spain ended up upsetting the Three Lions and won the match 4-3.[3] Goiburu had scored the decisive goal in the 82nd minute to give Spain the victory, despite being the only amateur footballer on the pitch.[6] He won 12 caps and scored 5 goals in total for his national team.[7]
