José Luis Borbolla Chavira (31 January 1920 – 11 February 2001) was a Mexican former football striker who played professionally in Mexican Primera División and La Liga and represented Mexico at the 1950 FIFA World Cup. He was also the first Mexican to suit up for Real Madrid. Sauto had Mexican and Spanish nationality therefore he always played as Spanish in Spain.[1]
Career
Born in Mexico City, Mexico, Borbolla played club football with local sides Asturias, España and Marte, where he won the 1942–43 Mexican Primera División and Campeón de Campeones titles.[2][3][4] In 1944, he moved to Europe to play with the Spanish clubs Deportivo de La Coruña, Real Madrid (he became the club's first Mexican player) and Celta de Vigo.[5] Borbolla played for Real Madrid in the 1944–45 Copa del Generalísimo,[6] but never settled and only made one league appearance before leaving the club.
He returned to Mexico to join Veracruz. He later played for América, where he retired to become coach for one season.
Borbolla made three international appearances for Mexico during 1950, including playing in the 1950 FIFA World Cup in the match against Switzerland.[7][8]
After he retired from playing and coaching, Borbolla formed a manufacturing business that sold football products in Central America.[9]
