Career

González's senior career began with Murcia, making nine appearances and scoring one goal (versus Linense) during the 1949–50 Segunda División season.[1] In 1953, González joined La Liga's Osasuna.[1] He made his professional debut on 13 September during a 2–0 loss to Real Madrid at the Estadio Chamartín.[1] Osasuna were relegated in that campaign, remaining in tier two until 1956 when González scored once in twenty-nine fixtures as Osasuna won the 1955–56 title.[1] He subsequently featured ninety-nine times and netted twice in four future seasons in La Liga.[1] González had a short spell with Málaga in 1960.[2]

After leading Málaga to the 1960 Tercera División trophy, he returned to Osasuna later that year.[2] The final match of his career was a 1960–61 Copa del Generalísimo tie with Extremadura in October 1960.[1] González died in September 2013 in Pamplona, aged 84.[2]
