José Luis Duque González (27 October 1918 – 9 November 1991) was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol in the 1940s.
Career
[edit]Born in the Biscayan town of Bilbao on 27 October 1918, Duque began his career in 1939, playing one season for Salamanca (1939–40), Real Valladolid (1940–41), and Salamanca again (1941–42).[1] In 1942, he joined Athletic Bilbao, making his debut on 27 September, in a 5–0 La Liga win over Real Betis.[2][3]
Together with Agustín Gainza, Francisco Gárate, and Telmo Zarra, he was a member of the Bilbao team that won the doubles in 1943, playing a small role in the team's triumph in the Copa del Rey, as he was used in only one match in the round of 16, but playing a crucial role in La Liga, scoring 11 goals in 11 matches, the club's third-highest goalscoring league tally, only behind José Luis Panizo (12) and Zarra (16).[4] He stayed with Bilbao for two years, from 1942 until 1944, scoring a total of 19 goals in 22 matches.[2] During his time at Bilbao, he also played one Segunda División match for Arenas de Getxo in the 1943–44 season.[1][5]
In 1944, Duque signed for Espanyol, where he scored 8 goals in 14 official matches in his first season.[5] Despite some encouraging first steps at Espanyol, he did not play a single game for them in his second year there, as he was loaned to Reus Deportiu until November, and then to Salamanca for the rest of the season.[5][6] In total, he scored 26 goals in 35 La Liga matches for Athletic and Espanyol.[7] Following a one-season stint at Racing de Santander (1946-47), he joined Gimnástica de Torrelavega, with whom he played for two years, from 1948 until 1950, when he joined Eibar, where he retired in 1951, aged 33.[5][8]
