INFO:

Telmo Zarraonandia Montoya (20 January 1921, in Vizcaya, Basque Country, Spain – 23 February 2006, Bilbao), popularly known as Zarra, was a Basque football player for Athletic Bilbao from 1940 to 1955.

Signing after playing one season for Erandio, he became a prolific goalscorer for Athletic in his 15 seasons at the club, winning the The Pichichi Trophy, awarded for the Spanish league top-scorer, six times. He scored more league goals (252) than any other player in Spanish football history, and an additional 81 cup goals. He also holds the record for most goals in a season, when he scored 38 times in 1950–51.

Despite this excellent record, he only played for Spain twenty times. Even so, he still managed to score 20 goals, including four in one historic match when Spain beat Switzerland 6–3 on 18 February 1951. He also scored his country's winning goal against England in the 1950 World Cup finals as Spain reached the last four - their best performance in the competition.

After leaving Bilbao in 1955, he played for one year with SD Indautxu and another with Barakaldo before retiring.

He died of a heart attack on 24 February 2006, aged 85. The Zarra Trophy is awarded in his memory (this trophy awards to most prolific spanish scorer in La Liga and Segunda División).

I think is heading value is too low.
I've read he was one of the best headers of his time, "the best head in Europe after Churchill!
I have 96 heading and 94 jump in my OF. May be it's too overrated but it seems that the guy was a fuckin' craque in heading shoots in the 50's.

[Toneti- Esp]

He seems so underrated, according to his goal rate. IMO he needs an increase wether in his shooting skills, or heading ones.

From Wikipedia in spanish:
"Su especialidad eran los remates de cabeza, los cuales le hicieron famoso en toda Europa. Tal era así, que antes de jugar un partido en Estocolmo, la ciudad estaba plagada de carteles en los que se podía leer; «¡Admiren la mejor cabeza de Europa después de Churchill!» en referencia a Zarra"

His specialty was header shoots, which make him famous in all Europe. For ths reason, before play a match in Stockholm, the city was riddled with posters with the inscription "Admire the best head in Europe after Churchill", with reference to Zarra"

So, I think his heading value is too low.
I suggest
