Jorge Aizkorreta
Spanish footballer
Jorge Aizkorreta Jurado (born 6 February 1974) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Barakaldo, Biscay, Aizkorreta arrived at Athletic Bilbao's youth system at the age of 17. Following two solid years with the B team in the Segunda División, he was promoted to backup in the main squad, appearing in eight official games in his only season – all in La Liga, his official debut coming on 3 December 1995 in a 2–1 home win against Real Valladolid – and conceding as many goals.
Subsequently, Aizkorreta signed with CD Logroñés, starting most of the matches in the 1996–97 campaign but suffering relegation from the top division. After two more seasons in the second tier with the Riojans he continued playing in that league until his retirement in 2007, representing CF Extremadura, Racing de Ferrol and Elche CF (under contract with the latter side for three years, he only totalled three appearances in the league for the club in his last two seasons).
International career
Aizkorreta was part of the Spanish squad at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, being an unused player in an eventual quarter-final exit.
Personal life
Aizkorreta's elder brother, Francisco Javier, was a defender. He was also developed at Athletic Bilbao, but retired after spells in the third and fourth tiers before Jorge even started his career.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jorge Aizkorreta” as spanish footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as spanish footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2760398. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1974, 1995, 1996 and 2007.
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.
