Luis Hurtado (Spanish footballer)

Luis José Emilio Hurtado Gaminde (6 April 1892 - Unknown) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender.

[1] He spent all 16 seasons of his playing career with Athletic Bilbao, thus being a historical member of the club and part of the so-called one-club men group.

He played a pivotal role in helping the Basque club reach eight Copa del Reys finals, of which he played in seven (missed the 1911 Copa del Rey Final) and won five, including three in a row between 1914 and 1916, which makes him one of the players with the best record of the competition.

He was one of the eleven footballers that started for Athletic in the first-ever match played at San Mamésn on 21 August 1913, in a friendly against Racing de Irun.

[3] In that game he played alongside Luis María Solaun, with whom he would form a high-level defensive duo for the next four years, and this partnership was crucial in Athletic's three back-to-back Copa del Rey titles between 1914 and 1916, conceding only one goal in those three finals, which came in the 1914 final as a 88th consolation goal to España FC in a 2–1 win.
