Gómez joined Atlético (at that time known as (Athletic Aviación de Madrid) in 1939 from Racing, where he had played his first La Liga matches prior to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and a three-year interruption.
He spent eight seasons with Atléti, forming a formidable partnership with Machín and Ramón Gabilondo in the midfield. Under manager Ricardo Zamora, Gómez was able to win successive league titles and was club captain for most of his Madrid career.
After his successful spell at Atlético, Germán went back to Santander to play for Racing, retiring in 1954.[1] He also had a stint as manager of Gimnástica de Torrelavega in his native region.
Germán won 6 caps with the Spain national team, making his debut in Valencia on 28 December 1941, in a 3–2 win against Switzerland.[2]
