Timeline
José Martínez Sánchez (born 11 March 1945), nicknamed Pirri, is a Spanish former footballer.
A central midfielder in the early part of his career, he finished up as a sweeper.
He spent the vast majority of his career with Real Madrid, appearing in 561 competitive matches and scoring 172 goals while winning 15 titles.
He also served as captain of the club.
A Spain international for 12 years, Pirri represented the country in two World Cups.
Born in Ceuta, Pirri signed for Real Madrid in 1964 as a 19-year-old, from Segunda División club Granada CF who received 200 million pesetas.
He made his debut with the former on 8 November of that year as a replacement for the suspended Ferenc Puskás, in a 4–1 home win against FC Barcelona.
He scored the first of his 123 goals in La Liga later that month, contributing to a 2–0 home victory over Deportivo de La Coruña also at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
He added nine appearances in the 1965–66 European Cup (for a total of 57 with 18 goals in the competition), including the final against FK Partizan (2–1 win in Brussels); he was part of a generation of players of the team dubbed Yé-Yé.
He made his debut in their 1966 FIFA World Cup opener, netting in the 2–1 loss to Argentina in an eventual group-stage exit.
Pirri played the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup final with his arm in a cast, and the decisive game of the 1974 Copa del Rey with fever and a broken clavicle.
For his services to Real Madrid, he was only one of two players to have the Laureada being bestowed upon him by president Santiago Bernabéu – the other being Goyo Benito.
During his tenure at Real, Pirri won ten national championships, netting in double digits in five of those seasons including a career-best 13 goals in 1975–76.
The 33-year-old was also in squad for the 1978 World Cup held in Argentina, playing twice in another group phase elimination.
Pirri was well known for his ferocity, leadership skills and versatility.
Other than his two main positions, he was also deployed as a makeshift forward.
In 1980, Pirri joined Mexican Liga MX side Puebla FC.
He scored his first goal for them on 28 September, in a 2–0 home defeat of Atletas Campesinos.
Pirri retired from the game at the age of 37 due his club's poor economic situation, even though he had one year more running in his contract.
He then completed his studies to qualify as a physician, and joined Real Madrid's medical staff; in late December 1999, he was named their general manager after Jorge Valdano (who later replaced him) rejected the offer.
On 17 July 2023, Pirri was appointed honorary president of Real Madrid.
Pirri earned 41 caps for Spain, scoring 16 goals.
In February 2009, he started working as a commentator for Radio Nacional de España's Tablero Deportivo.
