He played 381La Liga games during 19 seasons, representingReal Sociedad,Valencia andOsasuna. He was aSpanish international for seven years, and appeared for the country at the1950 World Cup.
Born inSan Sebastián,Gipuzkoa, Eizaguirre signed withReal Sociedad in 1936, but no football was played in the country from that year and 1939 due to theSpanish Civil War. He made his debuts with the club inSegunda División and, afterone season, reachedLa Liga as he moved toValencia CF.

After one full decade he returned to his nativeBasque Country and Real Sociedad, for a further six top flight campaigns.[1]
Eizaguirre retired at the age of nearly 40 after four seasons withCA Osasuna, still in the main category – before the last one,1959–60, ended, he was named the club'splayer-coach, as the campaign ended in relegation for theNavarrese. He worked as a manager until the late 70s, withCórdoba CF,Sevilla FC andGranada CF in the top division and a host of teams in the second level.
Eizaguirre won the first of his 18caps forSpain on 11 March 1945, in a 2–2friendly draw withPortugal in Lisbon. He was chosen by managerGuillermo Eizaguirre (no relation) for his1950 FIFA World Cup squad, and in Brazil he featured against theUnited States (3–1 first group stage win) andSweden (1–3 second group stage loss) for the eventual fourth-placed team.
