Enrique Esquiva González (1 September 1916 – 25 June 2003) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid between 1939 and 1943.[1][2][3][4][5]
Biography
[edit]Esquiva was born in Mejorada del Campo, Madrid on 1 September 1916,[1][4][5][a] as the son of Joaquín and Dolores.[5] He began his football career at his hometown club Nacional de Madrid in 1934, aged 18, but his career was interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.[1]
After the War, Esquiva joined the ranks of Real Madrid in 1939, and together with the likes of Jacinto Quincoces, Chus Alonso, and Simón Lecue, he was a member of the Madrid squad that reached the final of the Copa del Rey in 1940 on 30 June, which ended in a 3–2 loss to RCD Espanyol.[6] Three months earlier, on 3 March, Esquiva had conceded five goals from Espanyol in a league fixture that ended in a 5–4 loss, and in doing so, he became only the fourth goalkeeper in Madrid's history to concede four goals in a single match.[7] In the four seasons he played for Madrid, Esquiva played a total of 51 official matches with the club,[3][4] including 39 La Liga matches, 9 cup matches, and 3 in the regional championship.[3] He also played eight friendly games (unofficial).[5]
Esquiva remained a member of Real Madrid until he died on the morning of 25 June 2003, at the age of 86.[5][8]
