Marin Voinea (11 September 1935 – 19 April 2021) was a Romanian footballer who played as a forward.[3][4][5]

Club career

Voinea, nicknamed "Cărămidă" (Brick) was born on 11 September 1935 in Zătreni, Romania, starting to play football in 1960 at Divizia C club, Granitul București.[1][2][4][5] Shortly afterwards he moved to Progresul București where he made his Divizia A debut on 9 April 1961 in a 1–0 away loss to Minerul Lupeni.[1] He scored a personal record of 14 goals which helped the club finish on the third place in the 1961–62 season.[1] In the same season he played in both legs of the 2–1 aggregate loss to Leixões in the preliminary round of the European Cup Winners' Cup.[1][6] In the middle of the 1964–65 season, Voinea left Progresul to go at Divizia B club, Siderurgistul Galați which he helped earn promotion to the first league.[1] In the following season he made his last Divizia A appearance on 12 June 1966 in Siderurgistul's 4–1 away loss to Universitatea Cluj, gaining a total of 106 matches with 40 goals netted in the competition.[1] Voinea ended his career one year later at Divizia B club, Metalurgistul București.[1]
