*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Daniel Jarque i González (1 January 1983 – 8 August 2009) was a Spanish footballer who played as a central defender.

He played his entire career with Espanyol, and was named team captain one month before his death from a heart attack, at the age of 26.[1]

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, and a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth system, Jarque made his La Liga debut with his hometown club on 20 October 2002, in a match against Recreativo de Huelva during the 2002–03 season.[2] After 15 appearances in two campaigns combined, he went on to become a defensive mainstay for a team that won the 2006 edition of the Copa del Rey;[3] on 18 September 2005, he scored the game's only goal to help the hosts defeat Real Madrid.[4]

In 2006–07, after renewing his contract until 2009,[5] Jarque appeared in 14 UEFA Cup games as Espanyol reached the final, lost on penalties to Sevilla FC. In the previous league season, he contributed with four league goals as the Pericos finished 15th.

At the start of 2009–10 campaign, Jarque relieved Raúl Tamudo of his captain duties.[6][7]

Death and tributes

According to several online Spanish newspapers, Jarque was found dead during Espanyol's pre-season, in Coverciano, Florence, Italy. He was on the phone with his girlfriend in the team hotel when he suffered a heart attack. Some other news sources say that Jarque's girlfriend, who was seven months into her pregnancy,[8] reported his absence to his roommate Ferran Corominas.[1][9]

On 15 August 2009, Arsenal player Cesc Fàbregas, a former team-mate of Jarque in the Spanish under-21 side, dedicated his second goal in his team's 6–1 Premier League win at Everton to him, by raising a shirt with his name and number (#21, which he wore mainly as a professional).[10] The homage was again paid the following month – as Espanyol won the first match at their new Estadi Cornellà-El Prat – against Málaga CF – by 2–1 scorer Iván Alonso, as Jarque's pregnant girlfriend was also giving birth to the couple's daughter.[11]

On 11 July 2010, during the FIFA World Cup final, close friend Andrés Iniesta celebrated his 116th-minute winning goal by removing his jersey to reveal an undershirt with the sentence "Dani Jarque siempre con nosotros" ("Dani Jarque, always with us").[12] Two years later, after Spain conquered UEFA Euro 2012, Fàbregas again donned a T-shirt during the trophy celebrations to remember Jarque's death.[13][14]
