Imanol Agirretxe is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on February 24, 1987 in Usurbil, Spain. Imanol Agirretxe Arruti (born 24 February 1987) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.

On 19 January 2013, Agirretxe came from the bench for the last six minutes of a home fixture against Barcelona, and scored in the last minute to seal a 3–2 comeback win (Real Sociedad trailed 0–2 in the 40th minute) and end the Catalans’ unbeaten domestic run. At the season’s end he again finished second in team scoring (13), again only behind Vela.

After impressing in the 2017–18 pre-season, Agirretxe made a return to competitive action on 19 August 2017 following a 20-month hiatus, replacing captain Xabi Prieto as their team came from behind to defeat hosts RC Celta de Vigo 3–2 in the opening round of league fixtures. He made 13 appearances across all competitions, but only played more than 45 minutes in two of them.

On 29 August 2018, Agirretxe announced his retirement from playing professionally at the age of 31, having never fully recovered from his 2015 injury. In a press conference, he expressed that it was “A very happy day”, reflecting on his satisfaction in the decision he had made after his long struggles to return to peak condition, also speaking of his pride in representing Real Sociedad and respect he had for the staff at the club.

Again mainly a backup after the signing on loan of Uruguayan Carlos Bueno, Agirretxe scored six times in the following campaign, in 36 matches, as Real finally promoted as champions. In 2011–12, following Raúl Tamudo’s departure and the continuous physical problems that bothered Joseba Llorente, he was finally made first-choice, and netted three goals in his first two league games: two against Sporting de Gijón in a 2–1 away win and one against FC Barcelona, helping the hosts come from behind 0–2 for an eventual 2–2 draw; he finished with ten successful strikes, only trailing Carlos Vela in the squad.
