Aurel Crâsnic (11 May 1926 – 2 February 1968) was a Romanian footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[2]

Club career

Crâsnic was born on 11 May 1926 in Lonea, Romania and began playing football in 1940 at local club, Parângul.[1][3] In 1950, he joined Jiul Petroșani.[1][3] He made his Divizia A debut on 26 March 1950 under coach Geza Nagy-Csomag in a 5–0 away loss to Locomotiva Timișoara.[1][4] In June 1960, he scored his only league goal from a penalty in a 1–1 draw against Farul Constanța.[1][3][5] However, the team was relegated at the end of that season, but Crâsnic stayed with the club, helping them gain promotion back to the first league one year later.[1] On 1 July 1962, he made his last Divizia A appearance in Jiul's 7–0 home win over Metalul Târgoviște, totaling 205 matches with one goal in the competition.[1][3]

International career

Crâsnic played one friendly game for Romania, when coach Gheorghe Popescu sent him in the 79th minute to replace Ion Voinescu in a 1–0 victory against Poland.[6] He was part of Romania's squad for the 1952 Summer Olympics.[7]

Personal life and death

Around 1950, Crâsnic was sent to forced labor at the Danube–Black Sea Canal by Romania's communist regime.[3]

He died on 2 February 1968 at age 41.[1]
