Others

Viorel Moldovan also became known to the non-football-loving part of the Swiss population when his name played a role during a quiz fraud . When asked who had been voted head of the year 1997 by Swiss television, a candidate from the quiz show Risk gave the name of Moldovan as an answer. In fact, Viorel Moldovan would only have been the correct answer to a later question; the candidate asked helpers to find out the correct answers, but mixed up the questions. The full answer “Das isch da Fuessballer Moldovan gsi” (“That was the footballer Moldovan”) then became a phrase in Switzerland. Michael Kull and Roy Lembo also created a dance song as Risi & Co with the title "Moldovan". The song was based on quotes from the risk program in question, ran between March 1 and April 19, 1998 in the Swiss hit parade and reached its highest position at number 13.

Moldovan is married and has a son and a daughter.
