Career & Clubs

Playing career

Between 1906 and 1910, he played several matches with Athletic Club, where he held the position of goalkeeper. In 1907, the best players from Athletic and Unión Vizcaino came together to form Bizcaya, which was specially created to take part in the 1907 Copa del Rey, and Asuero was elected into the team, making his competitive debut in the 1907 Copa del Rey Final, which ended in a 0–1 loss to Madrid FC (now Real Madrid), courtesy of a late goal from Manuel Prast. Three years later, he was a member of the Athletic side that won the 1910 Copa del Rey (UECF), although he did not play in the final, where his replacement, Luis Astorquia, kept a clean-sheet a 1–0 win over Vasconia, the name under which the newly founded Real Sociedad played. He was the starting goalkeeper on 9 January 1910, at the premiere of the red and white shirt by Athletic Club, although as a goalkeeper, he wore a different shirt. Prior to starting his own practice in the center of the city when he returned to San Sebastián, he worked in a number of clinics. He quickly became known among the citizens due to his excellent personal treatment and his social commitment, which would lead him to act as a councilor in the city council of San Sebastián between 1923 and 1925. One of his best-known hobbies was reading about what at that time was called "occult sciences", being interested in those issues that are difficult to explain by science.
