Stelian Marin

Club career Marin was born on 6 March 1950 in Bucharest, Romania. Subsequently, he played in a 4–1 loss to Vitória de Setúbal in the first round of the 1969–70 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, scoring his side's goal. Marin helped Rapid win the 1971–72 Cupa României under coach Bazil Marian, netting the first goal in the 2–0 win over Jiul Petroșani in the final. He then took part in the 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, playing all six games and helping the team reach the quarter-finals by eliminating Landskrona BoIS—against whom he scored two goals—and Rapid Wien, before ultimately being knocked out by the eventual finalists, Leeds United. The club suffered relegation at the end of that season, but Marin stayed with the team, helping it gain promotion back to the first league after one year. Afterwards, he played in both legs of the 1975–76 European Cup Winners' Cup, where Rapid were eliminated in the first round with 2–1 on aggregate by Anderlecht, who eventually won the competition. On 30 June 1977, he made his last Divizia A appearance in a 2–1 loss to FC Constanța, totaling 175 matches with 22 goals scored in the competition.
