José Padrón Martín (5 May 1907 – 3 December 1966[1]) was a Spanish footballer who played for RCD Espanyol, Sevilla FC and FC Barcelona in Spain and various clubs in France.
Club career
[edit]A native of Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria and the co-capital of the Canary Islands, Padrón played five times for the Spain national team, scoring two goals. He made his début in a 5–0 victory against Portugal on 17 March 1929, scoring two goals.[2]
He won the Copa del Rey with Espanyol in 1928–29; he is listed in some sources as one of the goalscorers in the final,[3] and in others as one of five players sent off[4] (there is confusion between him and Francisco Tena in both respects).[5]
After leaving French team Cannes in 1937, he signed for Sochaux in Ligue 1, where he won the 1937–38 championship, playing just eight games and scoring two goals.[2]

He also was one of the eleven footballers that played for Spain in the infamous Spain v England football match on 15 May 1929.[6]
