The wonderful premiere of Joseba Etxeberria 25 years ago

It seems like yesterday, but it isn't. 25 years have passed since that premiere of a groundbreaking player. Joseba Etxeberria had landed on the Athletic after a multi-million dollar bet of Jose Maria Arrate by the forward of Elgoibar. That September 3, 1995, two days before he came of age, was a moment in the history of the club and the footballer himself.

His debut as a lion could not be better, since he scored the second goal of a four count that Athletic endorsed Racing de Santander in San Mamés (4-0), with Dragoslav Stepanovic in front of the rojiblancos.

The match started very well for the 'rooster', since he intervened in the play that gave rise to the first goal with a requisite house brand, a ball that finishes off Julen Guerrero, a rebound and a shot with the left foot of Ziganda. Shortly after, Etxeberria would be left alone in front of the Racinguista goal as a result of a pass from Guerrero and would score 2-0 by straining the ball between the goalkeeper's legs.

This birthday of the current coach of the Bilbao Athletic has been remembered by the Bilbao club on social networks. “Today is a special day, isn't it, Joseba Etxeberria?”, He dedicates on his Twitter account. In that message it is recalled that he is the third lion with the most matches in Athletic's history, with 514 matches and 104 goals.
