Enrique Claramunt Torres (born 12 July 1948) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward.

Football career

Born in Puçol, Valencian Community, Claramunt emerged through local Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debut with the reserves in the 1968–69 season, being relegated from Segunda División.

Claramunt was promoted to the Mestalla Stadium's main squad for 1970–71, his first appearance in La Liga occurring on 12 September 1970 in a 0–2 away loss against Real Madrid.[1] He scored his first goal in the competition on 27 December in a 2–1 home win over RCD Español,[2] and added a further three during the campaign[3][4][5] to help his team win the fourth national championship in its history.

After leaving the Che in 1974 Claramunt continued to compete in his native region until his retirement, representing CD Castellón in the second level and amateurs Villarreal CF.

Personal life

Claramunt's older brother, José, was also a footballer. He too represented Valencia and they shared teams during four seasons, being thus known as Claramunt I and Claramunt II.
