Iuliu Farkaș (also known as Gyula Farkas; 8 September 1923 – 9 May 1984) was a Romanian footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Iuliu Farkaș was born on 8 September 1923 in Petroșani, Romania, starting to play junior level football in 1930 at local club, Jiul. He started his senior career during the 1940–41 Divizia B season, helping Jiul promote to Divizia A, contributing with six goals scored.

In 1941 he went to play for Hungarian side, Ferencvárosi where he made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 6 September 1942 when coach Lajos Dimény used him all the minutes in a 3–3 with Salgótarjáni BTC. His following game in the competition took place in February 1943, scoring a goal in a 8–2 win over Kolozsvári AC, a week later scoring in a 4–0 victory against Törekvés SE. During his spell with The Greens, Farkaș won two Magyar Kupa. Afterwards he spent the 1943–44 season at Kolozsvári AC in the same league.

In 1944 he returned to Romania, playing for Rapid București for a short while, then he went at Carmen București where on 25 August 1946 he made his Divizia A debut in a 3–1 away win against his former side, Jiul Petroșani in which he netted one goal, managing a personal record of 14 goals until the end of the season. Then Farkaș went for one season at Ciocanul București who merged with Carmen in order to form Dinamo București where on 21 August 1948 he scored four goals in a 4–1 over his former side, Jiul. He would also score two doubles in two draws with rivals CCA București.

In 1951 he went back to hometown club, Jiul where he spent several successful seasons, earning the nickname "Picior de aur" (Golden Foot), the highlights being four goals netted in a 5–0 win against Știința Timișoara and a hat-trick in a 3–3 with his former club, Dinamo. His last Divizia A appearance took place on 13 March 1955 in a 0–0 with Locomotiva Constanța, having a total of 151 matches with 75 goals scored in the competition. Iuliu Farkaș ended his career in 1956 after playing one season in Divizia B for Minerul Lupeni.

Notes

  1. The Divizia A 1940–41 was the last season before World War II and the Divizia A 1946–47 was the first one after, so the appearances and goals scored during this period for Carmen București are not official with the exception of the 1945–46 regional championship.
