Jesús Larraza Renovales (20 July 1903 – 27 May 1926) was a Spanish footballer. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1924 Summer Olympics.

Biography

He spent his whole career with Athletic Club, a career that only lasted four years, between 1922 and 1926, since he died in a motorcycle accident when he was only 22 years old. Jesús had an accident on 27 May 1926 with his Harley-Davidson along with a friend who also died in the accident when he went off the road. His last match as a footballer dates back to 13 May, when he played a friendly against Real Sociedad (2-1). He earned one cap for the Spanish national team on 25 May 1924 against Italy, in a match that ended with Spanish elimination from the 1924 Summer Olympics after losing 0-1, with Larraza being sent off in the 55th when the game was still leveled at 0-0.
