The legendary Romanian goalkeeper who won the Champions League with Steaua has died

On December 2, FCSB Bucharest football club announced the death of the team’s legendary goalkeeper Helmut Dukadam. At the time of his death, the ex-goalkeeper was 65 years old.

He started his career at the football school “Konstrukturul” from the city of Arad. From there, he moved to the second division team “UTA”, where he spent two excellent seasons, after which he attracted the attention of the capital “Steaua”.

Since 1982, Dukadam was the main goalkeeper of the Bucharest club. During this time, he won the Romanian championship twice.

The 1985/86 season was historic for Steaua. The Romanian team won the Champions League and Dukadam made history by saving four penalties from Barcelona players in the final.

After that season, he was forced to leave Steaua due to a rare blood disease. In particular, the goalkeeper missed the match with Dynamo Kyiv, and later temporarily stopped his career.

Three years later, after overcoming the disease, Dukadam returned to football and played for the team from his hometown of Arad, which played in the second division of the country.
