José Ignacio Garmendia Mendizábal (born 4 April 1960) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Football career

During his career Garmendia played solely for Basque club SD Eibar, in a career which spanned 19 years. He stayed with the team as it competed consecutively in the nation's fourth, third and second divisions, amassing 322 league appearances in the latter category.

On 17 April 1988, in a third level match against Pontevedra CF, Garmendia scored from his goal, and Eibar would also promote at the end of the campaign.[1] He retired ten years later at the age of 38, only having been second-choice precisely in his last season (three games played), with the side always maintaining its division status; he collected two Ricardo Zamora Trophy awards in the process.

Personal life

Still during his career, and after retiring, Garmendia ran a butcher shop in his hometown.[2]
