Career
Player career
Nicolae Dobrin began his football career in his hometown Piteşti with the club Dinamo Piteşti (from 1968 FC Argeş Piteşti ). At the age of 14, he played his first game in Divizia A on July 1, 1962 . Then Dinamo rose to Divizia B , but the club managed to get up again immediately.
Dobrin remained loyal to his hometown club for 21 years. During this time he won the Romanian championship twice, in 1979 he scored the decisive goal in the last game of the season against Dinamo Bucharest . In 1966, 1967 and 1971 Dobrin was named Romania's Footballer of the Year.
He had numerous offers from top international teams such as Real Madrid , but also from other Romanian teams ( Dinamo Bucharest and Universitatea Craiova ) to change clubs. He turned them all down. The Romanian government at the time forbade him to move to Real Madrid. He successfully resisted the urge of the then sports political leadership to switch to the Romanian top clubs Dinamo Bucharest and Universitatea Craiova . Only at the beginning of the 1980/81 season he went to the club CS Târgovişte in the Divizia B. With this team he succeeded again in promotion to the Divizia A. But he had already passed the zenith of his career and was there only rarely as a player used for his team. Therefore, he took the opportunity to return to his original club Argeş Piteşti in 1982. There he ended his career as a player a year later.
Dobrin played 48 international matches for the Romanian national football team . He made his debut on June 1, 1966 against Germany in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . Dobrin was also nominated for the Soccer World Cup in Mexico in 1970 , but was not used there.
Coaching career
Even as active, Dobrin was coach of the club FC Argeş Piteşti in 1982 , for which he completed five games in the same season. In 1985 he resigned as a coach and moved to Divizia B for FC Botoșani . After a year he returned to FC Argeş Piteşti and became head of the youth department.

Already during Dobrin's lifetime, the stadium in his hometown Piteşti, in which FC Argeş Piteşti plays its home games, was named after him. Dobrin had the nicknames Gâscanul (German: Gänserich ) and Prințul din Trivale (German: The Prince of Trivale , after the district Trivale, in which the stadium of FC Argeş Piteşti is located) in his active time . The Romanian sports journalist Ilie Dobre wrote the two books Dobrin, la clipa aminitirilor (Editura Divertis, 1992) and Prințul din Trivale la ultimul dribling (Editura Paralela 45, 2008) about him . George Mihalache wrote the book Sa dus Prințul din Trivale , which was published in Editura PACO in 2007.
