José Enrique Niceto Goiri Bayo (1 March 1877 - 3 April 1925) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder for Athletic Club.
[4] As the son of a well-off family in Bilbao, Goiri was sent to Britain to complete his studies, doing so in the Catholic St Joseph's College, Dumfries, where he met and befriended José Maria Barquín, a fellow Basque and a future teammate at Athletic Club.
[7] This happened on 5 September 1901, in the infamous meeting held in the Café García, in which Goiri was one of the 33 men who signed the documents that gave birth to Athletic Club.
[9] In the 1904 Copa del Rey Final, Athletic were declared winners again without playing a match after their opponents failed to turn up.
At the beginning of the 20th century, many successful Basque footballers who retired from the sport went on to flourish in many other fields, mostly politics, but Goiri transitioned into something unusual for a sportsman, as he achieved fame as a tenor and impresario due to his voice.
