Ciril Amorós Bohem (18 March 1904 — Unknown) was a Spanish footballer.[1]
Born in València, he was the grandson of Ciril Amorós i Pastor, and spent his youth in Madrid, playing football in the German Institute, Areneros FC and Racing Madrid.[1] In 1921 he moved to Germany, country of birth of his mother, where he played for Victoria Hamburg and then,[1] during a short time in Barcelona, he would join RCD Espanyol.[2]
Amorós joined Valencia during the 1924–25 season, staying in the club for a decade and gaining the promotion to first division.[1] At Mestalla he was remembered as an elegant and effective player, shy outside the pitch. Despite that, he was a player with a strong mood, and served as the team captain.[1][3]
Alongside Pasarín, he was one of the players who led an incident in the Chamartín Stadium during a Copa del Rey match in 1930, when Valencia players left the pitch before the game ended as a protest against a referee's favoritism for Real Madrid, the home team.[3]
On 21 March 1933, he received an homage in Mestalla Stadium, where he received a cup and Valencia played a friendly match.[3]
