José Álamo Delgado (5 December 1903 – 20 April 1940) was a Spanish footballer who played as a forward for Espanyol and Real Oviedo. He was also international with the Catalan national team on one occasion in 1930.
Playing career
Club career
Born on 5 December 1903 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Álamo began his football career in his hometown club Real Club Victoria [es] in 1925, where he eventually stood out from the rest, so in 1929, Espanyol paid 25,000 pesetas for his services and those of Manuel Espino. He only stayed in Espanyol for one season, playing 9 La Liga matches and scoring two goals, the second of which in a famous 8–1 trashing of Real Madrid on 5 March 1930.
Despite having a wonderful pass, Álamo failed to adapt to Espanyol's sporting environment due to "homesickness", missing his warm island homeland, so he returned to Las Palmas at the end of the 1929–30 before leaving them again in October with the intentions to make his second debut for Espanyol. When asked about his return, he stated that he had not neglected training in the Canary Islands, and also that he was "lighter and willing to shoot more to undo my legend of shooting poverty". The journalist of this interview noted that "Álamo never stops taking out packs and packs of Canarian cigarettes from the pockets of his trench coat, his jacket, even his shirt!".
Despite his desire to play, Álamo was unable to rejoin Espanyol and ended up at Real Oviedo, where he again only played for one season (1930–31), scoring 7 goals in 16 official matches.
International career
As a Espanyol player, Álamo was eligible to play for the Catalan national team, making his debut against Real Zaragoza on 22 June 1930, in a tribute match to Rini in Zaragoza, in which he scored his side's only goal in a 1–3 loss.
Later life and death
Álamo died on 20 April 1940, at the age of 36. One of his relatives, José Mario Álamo Delgado, has positions in 3 companies in Las Palmas.
