Higinio Ortúzar Santamaría (10 January 1915 – 8 November 1982) was a Chilean footballer who made his entire career in Spain.[1]

Career

The first Chilean in the Spanish football, he made his debut for Erandio Club in 1935,[1] and next he played for Barakaldo CF,[2] Athletic Bilbao, Valencia CF, Real Valladolid and Real Sociedad.[3] He was loaned to Racing de Santander in 1936 for 4,500 pesetas, but he couldn't play due to the Spanish coup of July.[4]

While at Athletic (one of few players born outside the Basque region to play for the club under their signing policy and the only from Chile in the history),[5] he won a League and Cup double in 1943, and followed this up with further league titles playing for Valencia in 1944 and 1947.[3] In his 30s he featured for Valladolid and Real Sociedad in successive seasons, helping each to gain promotion from the second tier.

After retiring as a player, he became a football coach, and managed sides including CD Logroñés.[4]

Personal life

Born in Santiago, Chile, his parents were Basques. He returned to Euzkadi at early age, after his mother died.[2]

He made his home in Areeta and managed a bar in Mayor Street.[2]
