Ismael Urzaiz Biography

Ismael Urzaiz is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 7, 1971 in Tudela, Tudela, Spain. Ismael Urzaiz Aranda (Spanish pronunciation: [izmaˈel uɾˈθajθ aˈɾanda] ; born 7 October 1971) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a centre forward.

Urzaiz left Real Madrid permanently in 1993 and during the following three seasons played for Rayo Vallecano, UD Salamanca and RCD Espanyol – with a very modest scoring rate in the first two. He helped Salamanca win promotion to the top level in 1995, scoring twice as they beat Albacete 5–0 in the play-offs.

The form of a revived Urzaiz attracted interest and in the summer of 1996 he joined Athletic Bilbao for a 500 million pesetas fee, being eligible for the all-Basque team having been born in Navarre. In 11 seasons, he scored 115 goals in 367 league appearances; in 1997–98 his eight successful strikes in 32 matches helped to a runner-up finish, which led to direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League, where he netted once in seven games.

The following campaign, Urzaiz joined Espanyol for 35 million pesetas and exploded as a first-rate attacking player, netting 13 top division goals for a side that eventually finished fourth, including a hat-trick against former club Rayo Vallecano for a 4–2 home success on 14 April 1996.

Urzaiz spent the 1991–92 season on loan at Albacete Balompié, making his top flight debut when he came on as a substitute against Athletic Bilbao in October 1991. In early 1993, he was loaned to Celta de Vigo also in the top flight, appearing rarely and scoring only once.

Born in Tudela, Navarre, Urzaiz began his professional career at Real Madrid’s B-side, joining the youth system from local CD Tudelano in 1985 and making his debut in Segunda División four years later. Despite being a successful youth international, he did not make any La Liga appearances for the first team (however, he did play one game against Odense BK, in the 1990–91 European Cup).

Urzaiz represented Spain at the 1988 UEFA European Under-16 Championship in Denmark, helping his country win tournament. He also scored four goals for the under-20 team at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship, held in Portugal.

On 10 October 1996, Urzaiz made his debut for the senior side, a 0–0 away draw with the Czech Republic for the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Over the next three years he made only three more appearances and failed to score, but emerged as the hero as Spain qualified for UEFA Euro 2000, netting six times in three games – this included two against Austria and a hat-trick against Cyprus. After a further two in a friendly with Poland, he was subsequently picked for the final stages in Belgium and the Netherlands.
