Enrique Esquiva González (1 September 1916 – 25 June 2003) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid between 1939 and 1943.

Biography

Esquiva was born in Mejorada del Campo, Madrid on 1 September 1916, as the son of Joaquín and Dolores. He began his football career at his hometown club Nacional de Madrid in 1934, aged 18, but his career was interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

After the War, Esquiva joined the ranks of Real Madrid in 1939, and together with the likes of Jacinto Quincoces, Chus Alonso, and Simón Lecue, he was a member of the Madrid squad that reached the final of the Copa del Rey in 1940 on 30 June, which ended in a 3–2 loss to RCD Espanyol. Three months earlier, on 3 March, Esquiva had conceded five goals from Espanyol in a league fixture that ended in a 5–4 loss, and in doing so, he became only the fourth goalkeeper in Madrid's history to concede four goals in a single match. In the four seasons he played for Madrid, Esquiva played a total of 51 official matches with the club, including 39 La Liga matches, 9 cup matches, and 3 in the regional championship. He also played eight friendly games (unofficial).

Esquiva remained a member of Real Madrid until he died on the morning of 25 June 2003, at the age of 86.
