Career as a player

Gheorghe Albu began his career in 1924 in his hometown of Arad at AMEF Arad , from where he moved to the then Romanian runner-up Jiul Lupeni in 1928 . At that time he still took part in the Arad district championship , which was playfully high , but was unable to qualify for the final round of the Romanian championship in 1928/29 . In the 1929/30 season Jiul Lupeni moved to the district championship of Oltenia , where he was athletically superior to Oltul Slatina and the teams from Craiova , but saw himself exposed to massive hostility and therefore withdrew from the championship in the spring of 1930. Albu then moved back to Arad and played for Gloria CFR Arad , with whom he immediately qualified for the final of the 1929/30 season. After founding the Romanian professional league, Divizia A , in 1932 he stayed at Gloria CFR for a year before he joined the Romanian top club Venus Bucharest in 1933 . With Venus he won the Romanian championship four times, but was used only once in the 1939/40 season , so that in 1940 he moved to the league rivals FC Craiova . Albu ended his career here in 1944.

National team

Albu was used in a total of 42 games for the Romanian national soccer team, but without scoring a goal. His first game took place on May 10, 1931 against Bulgaria . At the Football World Cup in Italy in 1934 , Albu was used in Romania's only game against Czechoslovakia . He wore the captain's armband of the Romanian national team in 16 international matches.
