Biography※
Born in Bilbao, he studied in England as a child, "where he developed a deep interest in football." He also studied and played football in Mittweida, Germany, where he stood out as an outstanding goalkeeper. His older brother was a founding member of Athletic Club in 1898. But the "club was not officially established until 5 September 1901," in the infamous meeting held in the CafĂ© GarcĂa, in which Luis was one of the 33 socios (co-founders) of the club.
While his brother was a member of the first great team in the history of Athletic which won the 1902 Copa de la Coronación and the 1903 Copa del Rey, Luis was a member of the second great team which won two back-to-back Copa del Rey titles in 1910, 1911. He was the starting goalkeeper in both finals, keeping clean sheet on the former in a 1–0 win over Vasconia. In his time at Athletic, "he played five competitive matches," in which he conceded just two goals.
