Ion Alecsandrescu (17 July 1928 – 21 June 2000) was the president of Steaua București during the team's golden era, between 1985 and 1989. His nickname was Sfinxul (English: The Sphinx) and was recently declared as Steaua Bucharest's Man of the Century.[4][5][6]

Alecsandrescu also played football between 1947 and 1962 for Juventus București, Steaua București, CA Câmpulung Moldovenesc and Olimpia București.[1]

He was top scorer of Liga I with 18 goals in only 22 games, in 1956.[1][3]

Alecsandrescu won five championships and a Cupa României, all with Steaua București and also won four caps for Romania and one for Romania's Olympic team.[2][3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The 1957 championship called Cupa Primăverii is unofficial, so the appearances and goals scored at that competition for Steaua București are not official.[1]
  2. ^ Including one appearance for Romania's Olympic team[2][3]
