About José Ángel Iribar
José Ángel Iribar Kortajarena (born 1 March 1943), nicknamed El Chopo ("the Poplar"), is a Spanish former professional football goalkeeper and manager. Having played almost exclusively for Athletic Bilbao, he appeared in more than 600 official games for the club over the course of 18 La Liga seasons, winning two Copa del Generalísimo trophies. Iribar represented the Spain national team in the 1964 Nations' Cup and the 1966 World Cup, winning the former tournament. In the 1969–70 campaign he was awarded the Ricardo Zamora Trophy, conceding just 20 goals while taking part in all 30 fixtures for the runners-up. Iribar also coached the main squad in the 1986–87 season; for the only time, the league had a second stage divided in three groups, and Athletic 'won' the relegation section to finish 13th. Iribar made his debut for Spain on 11 March 1964, in the first leg of the 1964 European Nations' Cup's last qualifying stage, a 5–1 home win against the Republic of Ireland (7–1 aggregate).
