Biography
[edit]Born in Getxo, he began his career at his hometown club Arenas de Getxo, and he was a member of the team that won the 1919 Copa del Rey Final after beating FC Barcelona 5–2.[2] Like many other Arenas de Getxo players of that time, Arruza played a few games for the Biscay team, participating in both the 1922–23 and the 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cups, an official inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. Both campaigns ended in narrow defeats to Asturias (3–4) and Catalonia (0–1).[3] In the quarter-finals of the 1922–23 edition against Asturias, Arruza is listed in some sources as one of the goalscorers in a 1–1 draw that forced the replay in which they lost.[4]
