Machines from Romania’s war stock for stelists

May 7, 1986 is the day when the Orological of Eternity decided to return year by year in memory of the greatest performance of Romanian football. It is about the success of the Star at the breaks in front of the Spaniards from FC Barcelona. Today, all the more we look at with gratitude, but also with nostalgia, to the heroes of Sevilla, some of whom have left to explain up there as such performance was possible.

We have no way of paying a pious tribute to the three players from the memorable match at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium left prematurely among us, especially the man who set a record of Guinness Book appearing all four penalty blows executed, the immortal Helmut Duckadam, next to whom we remind him of Ilie Bărbulescu.

39 years old from that sensational time, former commander of the Steaua club, Nicolae Gavrilă, revealed for ProSport That, immediately after the final, there were private persons from England who offered 60 million pounds to buy the club and who said that if it is little they are willing to raise consistently. Former Minister of Defense, General Atanase Victor Stănculescu, also involved in the Revolution of December 1989, opposed saying that the star cannot be sold.

Gavrilă also spoke about the money collected by the club for winning the trophy, but also by the prizes received by the players, the technical and the medical staff, only the club leaders were exempted.

I received absolutely nothing, but absolutely nothing, an extra lion. Nothing, absolutely nothing. I tell you something, to know that I do not claim any victory, to know that, although they happened with me there and maybe I had my merit … but that’s life. The players, the 14 who were the most important and played the most, the staff, the doctor received a car from, attention, the stock of war cars of Romania.

Cars that only had the rod, around 3000 kilometers, the cars were practically battlefields, command that, in case of war, you were on the front. But do not think they were armored or I know what … Aro with double traction, slightly uninterrupted, that it was all the military technique, I did not have the hangares properly.

To know that some have been totally dissatisfied, Duckadam, God to rest! It is an example in this regard. In fact, most, if not all, sold them, took about 140,000- 150,000 lei on them. Were helped to sell them. And there were other benefits, some were awarded locally, sure they were benefits. But I, to know, I didn’t take anything.

$ 600,000 received the club and there were amounts of television rights, some money came for the other trophy, for the European Super Cup.
