Jorge González Díaz (born 14 September 1974), known as Yordi, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
A journeyman, he amassed La Liga totals of 180 games and 37 goals in ten seasons, in representation of five teams (notably Zaragoza), and 161/61 in Segunda División.
In 2002, Yordi had a six-month spell in England with Blackburn Rovers.
Born in San Fernando, Cádiz, Andalusia, Yordi started his professional career with Sevilla FC, moving in 1996 to Atlético Madrid. He spent the vast majority of his only season with the Colchoneros with the B-team, winning the Pichichi Trophy award in Segunda División and being called up two the main squad only twice, once for the UEFA Champions League; on 23 June 1997, he played 30 minutes in a 0–3 home loss against CD Tenerife, in the last matchday.
In the 1997 summer, Yordi signed with Real Zaragoza where he stayed for seven seasons, one in the second level, being a very important offensive contributor although almost always off the bench: for instance, in 2000–01, as the Aragonese side won the Copa del Rey, he only started in ten of 31 La Liga matches, scoring four times for a final 17th position – barely out of the relegation zone.
