Club career

Petreanu was born on 8 September 1950 in Bucharest, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1967 at local club Rapid.[1] On 25 August 1968, he made his Divizia A debut under coach Valentin Stănescu in Rapid's 1–1 draw against ASA Târgu Mureș.[1][4] Subsequently, he won the 1971–72 Cupa României, being sent by coach Bazil Marian in the 66th minute in the 2–0 win over Jiul Petroșani in the final.[1][5] Petreanu represented The Railwaymen in eight matches with one goal scored in European competitions.[1][6] During the 1971–72 UEFA Cup campaign, he played in a 2–0 loss to the eventual tournament winners, Tottenham.[1][7] He also played five games in the 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup, helping the team reach the quarter-finals by eliminating Landskrona BoIS and Rapid Wien—with Petreanu scoring against the latter—before they were knocked out by the eventual finalists, Leeds United.[1][8] In 1974, Petreanu went to play for a three-season spell at Sportul Studențesc București.[1] Afterwards, he joined Gloria Buzău where he made his last Divizia A appearance on 8 March 1980 in a 1–1 draw against ASA Târgu Mureș, totaling 189 matches with 11 goals in the competition.[1][6]

International career

From 1969 to 1972, Petreanu was consistently featured for Romania's under-23 side.[9]

Petreanu played one game for Romania on 30 January 1972, when coach Gheorghe Ola sent him to replace Constantin Radu in the 46th minute of a 4–2 friendly victory against Morocco.[10]
