Gheorghe 'Gică' Craioveanu (born 14 February 1968) is a Romanian retired footballer who played as a striker. He played most of his professional career in Spain – 11 years out of 18 – representing three teams and amassing totals of 330 games and 70 goals, both major levels combined. A Romanian international in the 1990s, Craioveanu represented the nation at the 1998 World Cup. ==Club career== Craioveanu was born in Hunedoara, Transylvania. After playing for modest clubs he reached Liga I in January 1991 (one month shy of his 23rd birthday) after signing with FC Universitatea Craiova. On 3 March he made his competition debut in a 0–1 away loss against FC Steaua Bucureşti, but his team would eventually win the national championship, with three goals in 13 games from the player; during his spell in Craiova, the club never ranked lower than fourth and also won two domestic cups, while he was also crowned the league's top scorer in 1994 and 1995. In the 1995 summer, after 49 goals in his last two seasons at Universitatea combined, Craioveanu signed with La Liga side Real Sociedad, netting 11 times in his first season to help the Basque finish in seventh position. Two years later he joined Villarreal CF which was having its first top flight experience, scoring a career-best – in Spain – 13 goals as the Valencian Community club was immediately relegated back. Craioveanu was again a very important offensive unit – 38 games, eight goals – as Villarreal promoted back in the year after and, already a veteran, helped to the club's top division consolidation. In 2002 the 34-year-old moved to Getafe CF in the second level, scoring 16 goals in 120 appearances over the course of four seasons, and helping the Madrid team achieve a first-ever top flight promotion in his second year; he retired in June 2006 at the age of 38, having appeared in 459 league matches during his professional career, scoring a total of 131 goals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gheorghe Craioveanu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
