“I had colleagues of great character”

Two years ago Gino Iorgulescu jumped to his aid with a sum of money, now Mircea Sandu, the former president of the FRF, also donated an amount to help the former footballer through the action opened by the Bucharest Student Sport Supporters Association. The association has opened a bank account through which people can contribute.

Petre Grosu, the former goalscorer of League 1, needs help: “Gino's help is real”

“Gino's help is real, an extraordinary man and colleague, I thank him as well. Mircea Sandu, who also had serious health problems, got involved and I thank him.

For me, Sport was a launching pad and I had colleagues of great character, it's a shame that in one of the seasons we lost the title of champions. We were close, if Rîca Răducanu hadn't made a mistake in that famous phase when he scored an own goal. But that's life,” Petre Grosu said, according to prosport.ro.
