Constantin Dinulescu (19 April 1931 – 1 February 2017) was a Romanian football forward who played for Romania in the 1960 European Nations' Cup.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Dinulescu was born on 19 April 1931 in București, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1945 at Unirea Tricolor București.[1] He started playing senior-level football in the regional championship for UCB București.[1] In 1950 he joined Divizia B club Progresul ICAS București.[1] Subsequently, in 1952 he went to play for Știința Iași in the same division.[1] Two years later he joined Știința Timișoara, making his Divizia A debut on 21 March 1954 under coach Eugen Mladin in a 0–0 away draw against Metalul Hunedoara.[1][3] Dinulescu scored a personal record of 17 goals in the 1955 season which made him the second top-scorer of the league, having one goal fewer than teammate Ion Ciosescu.[4] On 1 July 1956 he scored a goal in a 2–1 West derby victory against UTA Arad.[5] He won the 1959–60 Cupa României with Progresul, but coach Augustin Botescu did not use him in the final.[1][6] In 1957, Dinulescu switched teams again, transferring from Politehnica to Progresul București.[1] Five years later, in 1962 he went to Farul Constanța where he was part of the team's prolific offensive trio alongside Ciosescu and Iosif Bükössy.[1][7] There, he made his last Divizia A appearance on 8 December 1963 in a 1–0 away loss to Petrolul Ploiești, totaling 184 matches with 80 goals in the competition.[1]

International career

[edit]

Between 1956 and 1959, Dinulescu made several appearances for Romania's B and Olympic teams.[8]

Dinulescu played three games and scored two goals for Romania.[9] He made his debut on 30 September 1962, opening the score under coach Augustin Botescu in a 2–1 friendly loss to rivals Hungary in which he was also sent off in the 67th minute.[9][10] Subsequently, he scored a goal in a 3–0 win over Turkey in the Euro 1960 qualifiers which helped his side reach the quarter-finals where they were defeated by Czechoslovakia who advanced to the final tournament.[9]
