Athletic career
Oruezábal was born in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, to Spanish immigrants who came to South America in the 1940s. At the beginning of the 1970s he made his adult debut for CA Vélez Sársfield . In 1971 he won an international title as a young national player with the Argentine national team at the 1971 Pan American Games .
1974 changed Oruezábal in the birthplace of his parents and joined the Granada CF in the Primera División on. In 1976 he went down with the club in the Segunda División , where he ran up one more season for the club. He then moved to Real Jaén within Andalusia . At the second division he ended his active career in 1979 due to an injury.
After the end of his career, Oruezábal took over the restaurant in Granada that was opened by his former teammate Ladislao Mazurkiewicz , who had meanwhile returned to his native Uruguay , and named after his nickname "Chiquito". This developed into a sports cultural center, for which he was honored by the city. In December 2014, at the age of 62, he presumably succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning , caused by a wood-burning stove installed in the basement of his house.
