Joaquín Yarza
Joaquín Yarza Ormazábal, also known as
Quincho Yarza (1881–1972), was a Spanish
footballer who played as a
midfielder for
Madrid FC. Along with his brother
Manuel, he was a member of the
Madrid FC side that won the
Copa del Rey four times in a row, between 1905 and 1908, although Joaquín only participated in the first three, leaving the club in 1907 to join
Sporting de Vigo. Quincho helped Sporting reach their first-ever final in
1908, in which the Yarza brothers were rivals, as Manuel stayed at Madrid. Quincho was a versatile footballer, playing in
defense,
midfield and
attack.
Outside of football, he served in the
Spanish Navy, reaching the rank of captain, and dedicated himself to the naval industry in
Vigo, creating, among other companies, the shipyard Construcciones Navales Yarza.
