Jesús Iñigo Liceranzu Otxoa (13 March 1959) is a Spanish former professional football central defender and manager.
Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Liceranzu was a product of local giants Athletic Bilbao. After three years with the reserves he made his professional debut with Basque neighbours Barakaldo CF, in the Segunda División.[1]
Upon his return in summer 1981, Liceranzu eventually became an undisputed started for the club, partnering Andoni Goikoetxea as stopper and being dubbed Rocky due to his hard approach.[2] [3] In 1983–84, as Athletic renewed their domestic supremacy, he scored a career-best seven goals in 32 matches; on 29 April 1984, he found the net twice in a Basque Derby home win against Real Sociedad (his second meaning the final 2–1, and the club's 3000th goal in La Liga).[4] [5]
Liceranzu retired from football in 1989 at only 30, after one season with Elche CF also in the top tier.[6] Towards the end of the following decade he became a coach, working mainly in his native region: Úbeda CF, Zalla UC, SD Lemona, Amurrio Club, Barakaldo and Zamora CF.[7] [2]
On 30 April 1985, Liceranzu earned his sole cap for Spain, playing the entire 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales, a 3–0 loss in Wrexham.[8]
