Jesús María Satrústegui Azpiroz (born 12 February 1954) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career

[edit]

Satrústegui was born in Pamplona, Navarre. However, he spent his entire professional career in the Basque Country, solely representing Real Sociedad. With the team, he scored 133 La Liga goals – a club record that stood for several decades – in 297 matches, contributing solidly to their league wins in 1981 and 1982, totalling 29 goals while playing alongside the likes of namesake Jesús María Zamora.[2][3][4]

After a serious knee injury in a match against Real Zaragoza in November 1982 (meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament),[5][6] Satrústegui never fully recovered and retired at the end of the 1985–86 season, aged 32.[7]

International career

[edit]

Satrústegui earned 32 caps and scored eight goals for the Spain national team,[8] and represented his country at UEFA Euro 1980 and the 1982 FIFA World Cup, retiring from international play immediately after the last second group-stage game, a 0–0 draw against England – this would also be Zamora's last appearance.[9][10]

On 25 March 1981, both Satrústegui and Zamora were on target as their team ran victors for the first time ever at Wembley Stadium, countering Glenn Hoddle's equaliser.[11][12]
