Born in Leones, Argentina to Basque parents, Errazquin moved to the Basque town of Irun as a child. In 1921, Errazquin made his debut for Real Unión B, at the age of 15, before working his way up to Real Unión's first team by 1923, starting in Real Unión's 1924 Copa del Rey Final win at the age of 17.[1]
