Constantin Stan (born 20 October 1949) is a Romanian former footballer who played as a forward.
Stan was born on 20 October 1949 in Colceag, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1965 at Colorom Codlea. One year later he started to play for the club's senior team in the Romanian lower leagues. In January 1969, he arrived at Metrom BraÃÂov in Divizia B. In 1970 he joined ASA Târgu MureÃÂ, making his Divizia A debut on 14 June under coach Tiberiu Bone in a 2âÂÂ0 away loss to Universitatea Cluj. After half a year, Stan was sent by ASA to Chimica TârnÃÂveni in exchange for László Bölöni. In 1971 he went to Gloria BuzÃÂu in Divizia C, helping the team gain promotion to the second league in his first season. In the 1977âÂÂ78 season, Gloria earned promotion to the first league, Stan contributing with 16 goals. In the following season he netted 16 goals once again, being the league's second top-scorer with six goals behind ArgeàPiteÃÂti's Marin Radu. Among these goals were a double in a 4âÂÂ1 victory against Steaua BucureÃÂti and a hat-trick in a 3âÂÂ1 win over his former side, ASA. On 8 March 1980, Stan made his last Divizia A appearance in Gloria's 1âÂÂ1 draw against ASA Târgu MureÃÂ, totaling 54 matches with 19 goals in the competition.
Stan played three games for Romania, making his debut at age 29 on 13 December 1978, when coach ÃÂtefan Kovács sent him in the 65th minute to replace Florin Grigore in a 2âÂÂ1 friendly loss to Greece. In his following match, also a friendly, he scored his only goal for The Tricolours in a 1âÂÂ1 draw against Israel. His last appearance for the national team was in a 1âÂÂ1 draw against Cyprus in the Euro 1980 qualifiers.
The stadium in his native Colceag is named after him.
