José Ignacio Garmendia Mendizábal (born 4 April 1960) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

[edit]

Garmendia was born in Villabona, Gipuzkoa. He played solely for Basque club SD Eibar, in a career that lasted 19 years. He stayed with the team as they competed consecutively in the nation's fourth, third and second divisions, making 322 appearances in the latter.[1]

On 17 April 1988, in a third-tier match against Pontevedra CF, Garmendia scored from his goal, and Eibar would also promote at the end of the campaign.[2] He retired ten years later at the age of 38, only having been second choice precisely in his last season (three games) and with the side always retaining their league status; he collected two Ricardo Zamora Trophy awards in the process.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Still during his career, and after retiring, Garmendia ran a butcher shop in his hometown.[4]
