Gorka Azkorra
Spanish footballer
Gorka Azkorra Trueba (born 25 January 1983) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a centre-forward.
He appeared in 178 matches in the Segunda División over eight seasons and scored 21 goals, representing mainly in the competition Albacete and Salamanca (two years apiece). In La Liga, he played for Athletic Bilbao.
Playing career
Born in Bilbao, Basque Country, Azkorra emerged through local giants Athletic Bilbao's youth system, but could only make eight appearances with the main squad – all in the 2004–05 season – after scoring prolifically for the club's B and feeder teams. He made his La Liga debut on 3 October 2004, playing 25 minutes in a 3–1 away loss against Getafe CF; to five top-flight matches, he added three in the UEFA Cup.
In the 2005 January transfer window, Azkorra moved to the Segunda División, where he went on to represent Recreativo de Huelva (on loan), CD Numancia, Albacete Balompié and UD Salamanca. Whilst with the latter side, in the 2008–09 campaign, he reunited with his former Athletic youth teammate Mikel Dañobeitia.
Azkorra continued competing in the second and third tiers the following years, with CD Lugo (scoring a career-best 18 goals in the 2010–11 campaign), Deportivo Alavés, CD Guadalajara, Hércules CF, Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Real Murcia CF and Sestao River Club. He retired aged 35 following an amateur spell at Zamudio SD.
Coaching career
In June 2022, Azkorra was appointed assistant coach at Indian Super League team FC Goa under his compatriot Carlos Peña. Before and after that, he worked with Athletic Bilbao's youths.

Why this record matters
“Gorka Azkorra” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Gorka, Azkorra and Spanish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q735741. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2004, 2005 and 2008.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
