Club career

Marin Andrei started his senior career playing for Metalul Târgoviște in Divizia B and after two seasons he managed to promote to Divizia A, a competition where he made his debut on 20 August 1961 in a 3–1 victory against UTA Arad. [1] After one Divizia A season with Metalul he went to play under the guidance of coach Valentin Stănescu at Rapid București. [4] Andrei was an important player in the first three seasons spent with The Railwaymen as the team managed to be runner-up in all three years, also in the 1964–65 Divizia A season he set a competition record for goalkeepers of 770 minutes without receiving a goal. [1] [4] [5] [6] In the 1966–67 season he helped Rapid win the first title in the club's history, Stănescu using him in only three games, as the team's first choice for the goalkeeper position was Rică Răducanu. [1] [4] [5] [7] The next season, Andrei played four games in the league, after which he went for one season at Steaua București where he made eight league appearances, having a hard competition with international goalkeepers Carol Haidu and Vasile Suciu, also managing to win the Cupa României. [1] [5] [8] He went to play for Progresul București in the second league for a half of year, after which he signed with Dinamo București, thus becoming the first player to play for Rapid, Steaua and Dinamo. [1] [4] [5] He won the 1970–71 Divizia A title with Dinamo in which coaches Nicolae Dumitru and Traian Ionescu used him in four matches, as the team's first choice for the goalkeeper position was Mircea Constantinescu. [1] [7] Also he made three appearances for the club in the 1971–72 European Cup, helping them get past Spartak Trnava in the first round, keeping a clean sheet in the first leg but they got eliminated in the following round by Feyenoord. [1] [9] Marin Andrei ended his career after playing one season in the second league for Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea with whom he won the Cupa României. [1] [8]

In 1967, Andrei was contacted by Peruvian champion Club Universitario de Deportes, who wanted a European goalkeeper, but was denied a transfer there because the Romania's communist regime did not allow it. [5]

International career

Marin Andrei played one game for Romania on 23 October 1965 under coach Ilie Oană in a 2–1 loss in front of Turkey at the 1966 World Cup qualifiers. [2] [10] Andrei also played for Romania's Olympic team in a friendly which ended with a 2–1 victory against Yugoslavia, also being chosen by coach Silviu Ploeșteanu to be part of the 1964 Summer Olympics squad from Tokyo, appearing in a 1–0 victory against Iran and in a 4–2 win over Ghana, helping the team finish on the fifth place.
