==Playing career==
Born in [[Bilbao]], [[Biscay]], Amorrortu signed with [[Athletic Bilbao]] in the summer of 1973, from neighbouring amateurs [[CD Getxo]]. He went on to spend five seasons in [[La Liga]] with the former club, making his debut on 2 September 1973 in a 1–2 away loss against [[Celta de Vigo]]; he added 11 appearances in the runner-up run of the [[1976–77 UEFA Cup|1976–77 edition]] of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Europa League]], featuring in the 2–1 home win against [[Juventus F.C.]] in the second leg.
===Player===
As a player Amorrortu mainly represented [[Athletic Bilbao]] and [[Real Zaragoza]], playing for five seasons at each club.


After only 13 games in the [[1977–78 La Liga|1977–78 campaign]], Amorrortu signed with [[Real Zaragoza]] also in the top division. He scored a career-best ten goals in [[1978–79 La Liga|his first year]], but his team could only finish in 14th position; until his retirement in 1983, aged only 30, he competed solely in that level.
Having signed from lower-league [[CD Getxo|Getxo]] in 1973, his time in Bilbao coincided with a fairly successful period in the club's history when they were runners-up in both the [[1977 UEFA Cup Final]] and the [[1977 Copa del Rey Final]], and also finished in 3rd position in the league in [[1976-77 La Liga|1976-77]] and [[1977-78 La Liga|1977-78]]. At the end of the latter campaign Amorrortu moved to newly-promoted Zaragoza and played his part in maintaining their top-division status until he retired from playing in 1983, aged only 30.<ref>[http://www.athletic-club.eus/cas/jugadores/118/amorrortu.html Athletic Club player stats - Amorrortu]</ref>
