Stelian Marin (born 6 March 1950) is a Romanian footballer who played as a midfielder.[2][3]

Club career

Marin was born on 6 March 1950 in Bucharest, Romania.[1] He began playing football at Rapid București, making his Divizia A debut on 8 June 1969 under coach Marian Bărbulescu in a 2–1 home win over Crișul Oradea.[1][4] 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.[1][5] 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.[1][6] 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.[1][7] 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.[1] They also reached the 1975 Cupa României final and Marin played the entire match under coach Ion Motroc in the 2–1 victory against Universitatea Craiova.[1][8] 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.[1][9] 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.[1] However, he suffered another relegation with Rapid at the end of the 1976–77 season.[1] In 1982, Marin joined Carpați Mârșa where he ended his career in 1984.[1]

From 1972 to 1973, Marin played several matches for Romania's under-21 and under-23 national teams.[10]
