Constantin Stanciu (24 September 1907 – 27 March 1986) was a Romanian football forward.

Club career

[edit]

Stanciu was born on 24 September 1907 in Bucharest, Romania.[1] He started playing football in 1923 at Venus București.[2] In 1926 he went to play for Fulgerul Chișinău.[2][3]

One year later he returned to Venus with whom he managed to win the championship in the 1928–29 season, contributing with three goals netted in 12 games.[2][3][4] He won his second title in the 1931–32 season, playing in 13 matches in which he scored one goal.[2][3][4] In the 1933–34 season, Stanciu helped Venus win another title, coach Karoly Weszter using him in 15 games.[2][3][4][5]

In 1935 he went to play for Juventus București where in his first two seasons he made 23 appearances with two goals scored.[6] In 1939 he went to play for Metalosport București.[2][3] Stanciu ended his career by playing seven matches for FC Brăila during the 1940–41 Divizia A season.[3]

International career

[edit]

Stanciu played eight games and scored four goals at international level for Romania, making his debut on 15 September 1929 when coach Constantin Rădulescu sent him on the field in the 65th minute in order to replace Nicolae Kovács in a friendly which ended with a 3–2 away victory against Bulgaria.[7][8] He played three games at the 1929–31 Balkan Cup, scoring a double in a 5–2 win over Bulgaria as Romania won the competition.[7][9]

He was selected by coach Rădulescu to be part of Romania's squad at the 1930 World Cup.[1][7] There he played in the first game from the group stage, a 3–1 victory against Peru in which he was heavily tackled in the first half by Luis de Souza and Alberto Denegri, walking limping in the second half of the game as no substitutions were allowed, managing to score the 2–1 goal with his injured leg.[1][7] He did not play in the second game which was a 4–0 loss to hosts and eventual world champions Uruguay.[1]

Stanciu played his last two games for the national team in the victorious 1931–1934 Central European Cup for Amateurs, scoring a goal in a 4–1 victory against Czechoslovakia.[7][10]
