The UEFA fantastic missing by the Police in 2023 appeared on the “Arc de Triomphe” » How it looks now

Lucian Burdujan, troubled past

In 2023, Gazeta wrote about the delicate situation of Burdujan, a former striker at Rapid and FCSB. He was reported missing by his family, information from the official website of the Romanian Police.

“Significantly: Height: 180 cm, Weight: 80 kg, Build: Athletic, Hair color: Black, Eye color: Brown. Details: Burdujan Lucian, 39 years old, left voluntarily in November 2022 from his home, in Piatra Neamt municipality, Neamt county, and has not returned until now,” was the press release from IPJ Neamț.

The former striker would have left home because of big money problems. At that time, the ex-wife specified for GSP.ro: “His vice was gambling! It's a disease. He lost hundreds of thousands, millions of euros, earned as a football player. His thought was to recover from the lost money. I had no one to talk to. I rebuilt my life, and he was no longer interested in children. Football was his life. He did not accept help from anyone.”

Burdujan played 69 matches for Rapid and scored 18 goals in Giulești's shirt. He also played 5 games for FCSB in 2011. Plus 13 games for the Romanian youth national team.

Burdujan will also come. He had some problems, from what I understand, maybe he still has them… But this is an event where it doesn't matter if you have 10 million euros in your account or not. It's like saying goodbye 30 years after you finish school. And one is an engineer or a doctor, operates on the brain, and someone else developed differently, for some reason, that he was not careful with his time, that life did not help him…

I, for example, was lucky enough to come across a woman, like my wife, who I've known since I was 19, who helped me grow. If you're lucky enough to come across a person to pick you up, that's OK. If you've met a toxic person, then you're going down.

And that's why I say – I think the most beautiful thing you can learn as a human being is not to judge. You never know what's in a man's life, you never know what happened. It's easy to judge, to say: «Aoleu! Look at that one, he doesn't have a house, he doesn't have…». Many people scoff at these things. You have no way of knowing what happened to the man
