Tudor Paraschiva (27 December 1919 – 15 May 1967) was a Romanian association football striker.[1][4]

Club career

Paraschiva was born on 27 December 1919 in Bucharest, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1934 at local club Militari.[2][5][6] He made his Divizia A debut on 16 September 1939, playing for Unirea Tricolor București in a 3–2 loss to Rapid București.[2][5][6] Under the guidance of player-coach Ștefan Cârjan he helped Unirea Tricolor win the Divizia A title in the 1940–41 season, contributing with two goals scored in seven matches.[2][7] In the same season he helped the club reach the 1941 Cupa României final in which he played the entire match in the 4–3 loss to Rapid.[8] In 1946, Paraschiva joined Jiul Petroșani, a club where he spent 10 seasons.[2][5][6] In the 1947–48 season he scored a personal record of 15 goals, then in the following one he netted 14 goals which helped the team finish third.[2] He then went to play for Minerul Lupeni in Divizia B, helping them get promoted to Divizia A in his second season.[2] On 15 November 1959, Paraschiva made his last Divizia A appearance in a 7–0 away loss to Progresul București, totaling 238 matches with 71 goals in the competition.[2][5][6]

International career

Paraschiva played six games and scored two goals for Romania, making his debut on 11 May 1952 under coach Emerich Vogl in a 3–1 friendly victory against Czechoslovakia in which he opened the score.[9][10] His following appearance for the national team was also in a friendly, a 1–0 victory against Poland in which he scored the goal.[9] His third game played for The Tricolours was in the 1952 Summer Olympics, as coach Gheorghe Popescu used him in a 2–1 loss against eventual champions Hungary.[5][6][9][11] In that match he made a good impression, being selected by the Finnish authorities who organized the competition, to appear in a commemorative postage stamp.[5][6][9][12] Paraschiva's last three games for the national team were a 3–1 friendly win over East Germany, a 2–0 loss to Czechoslovakia during the 1954 World Cup qualifiers and a 5–1 loss against Hungary in a friendly.[9]

Notes

  1. ^ The Divizia A 1940–41 was the last season before World War II and the Divizia A 1946–47 was the first one after, so the appearances during this period for Unirea Tricolor București are not official with the exception of the 1945–46 regional championship.[2][3]
  2. ^ The 1957 championship called Cupa Primăverii is unofficial, so the appearances and goals scored at that competition for Jiul Petroșani are not official.[2]
  3. ^ The statistics for the 1957–58 and 1958–59 Divizia B seasons are unavailable.[2]
