Abstract

The following article aims to val-ue and rescue the memory of Valen-cians athletes who were forced into exile after the end of the Spanish Civil War. Thus by means of qualita-tive methodology we have recovered and documented the sporting career of five outstanding athletes, three of them of the FUE (Federación Uni-versitaria Escolar): the doctor Ma-nuel Usano, rugby player; José Cata-lina Llorens, physical education teacher and three times athletics champion of Spain; José Martínez Fort, European boxing champion and the doctor Enrique Georgakopulos, who has the first international Va-lencian rugby player. The fate of these exiled athletes were countries like France, Algeria or, especially, Mexico and Argentina that hosted a large contingent of them. Most exiled athletes had high-er education studies and were not professionals in the field of sport (given the incipient professionalism of the time) and most of them never returned to their land. The majority belonged to left parties and its draws attention the large number of athletes who were exiled from Valencian Country compared to what happened in other regions of Spain perhaps be-cause Valencia was the capital of the Republic, among other factors ana-lyzed.
