Domingo Larrainzar
Spanish footballer
Domingo José Larrainzar Santamaría (Txomin Larrainzar in Basque; born 8 September 1969) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
His younger brother Iñigo, often referred to as Larrainzar II, was also a footballer, and both played at Osasuna.
Club career
Larrainzar was born in Pamplona. A product of hometown CA Osasuna's youth ranks, he totalled seven La Liga appearances from 1988 to 1990. In his third season he helped with 14 games and one goal to help the Navarrese club to finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Cup– although younger, his brother Iñigo was already an essential member of the squad.
With Osasuna in the Segunda División, Larrainzar dropped down to Segunda División B and signed for Málaga CF, helping the side to return to the top flight in just two years. Although never an undisputed starter, he featured regularly.
In 2002–03, prior to Málaga's victory in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, Larrainzar returned to the second tier with Levante UD, but retired at the end of the campaign at the age of 33.

Why this record matters
The phrase “spanish footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
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 Oct 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5290381. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1988, 1990 and 2002.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
