José Eulogio Gárate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

José Eulogio Gárate Ormaechea (born Sarandí, Buenos Aires, Argentina, September 20, 1944) was a Spanish/Basque footballer who played as a forward for SD Eibar, SD Indautxu, Atlético Madrid and Spain.

Gárate was born in Argentina of Basque parents and grew up in Eibar. He began his career with SD Eibar in 1960 before joining SD Indautxu in 1963. Just like two earlier Indautxu players, Jesus María Pereda and Miguel Jones, he was controversially overlooked by Atlético Bilbao and like Jones he eventually joined Atlético Madrid. Along with Luis Aragonés, Adelardo, Javier Irureta, Enrique Collar, and Ufarte, he was a prominent member of the successful Atlético side of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Gárate helped the team win La Liga three times, the Copa del Generalísimo twice, reach the final of the European Cup and win the Intercontinental Cup. He was a notable goalscorer, winning the Pichichi three times in a row between 1968 and 1970 and scoring the winning goals in the 1972 and 1976 Copa del Generalísimo finals. During his time at Atlético, Gárate played 241 games and scored 109 goals.

Gárate also played 18 times for Spain and scored 5 goals. He made his debut on October 22 1967 against Czechoslovakia and played his last game against Romania on April 17 1975. During this period Spain failed to qualify for either the European Championships or World Cup and as a result he never played in the finals of a major international competition.
