José García Castro (10 July 1933 – 10 May 2003), also known as Pepillo, was a Spanish professional footballer. He played for Sevilla, Real Madrid, Mallorca, River Plate, and Málaga, as well as the Spanish B national team, between 1953 and 1966. He was sometimes nicknamed Pepillo II, to not confuse himself with former Sevilla player José Díaz Payán, who was also nicknamed Pepillo.[1][2]
