Career & Clubs

Club career

A Real Sociedad youth graduate, Górriz was born in Irun, Gipuzkoa, and played solely for the Basques, making his first-team debut on 8 April 1979 in a 4–0 away win against Rayo Vallecano. From his third season – where Real won the La Liga title – onwards he was a defensive stalwart until the 1991–92 campaign, with 31 games as his minimum output, often being partnered by Agustín Gajate who also only appeared for one professional club. Górriz retired in June 1993 having appeared in 461 top-flight matches (599 overall, the club record), his final year also being the old Atotxa Stadium's last.

International career

Górriz earned 12 caps for the Spain national team in one and a half years. He made his debut on 16 November 1988 at already 30, in a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland, a 2–0 victory in Seville. Being subsequently picked for the finals in Italy, Górriz scored his only goal for his country in the 2–1 group stage win over Belgium, heading home a free kick from Real Madrid's Míchel.
