Christian Tudor was forced to end his football career early due to health problems. Unfortunately, he could not recover, and in 2012 died of cirrhosis of the liver.
Carier start
Christian Tudor was born on August 23, 1982 in Romania, where he played soccer at an amateur level, until he was screened in Gloria at the age of fifteen. Until 2000, he was in the club system, speaking for youth squads of various age categories, and when he was 18 years old, he signed a professional contract with the club. Immediately after signing the contract, the striker was sent to the Italian Pistoiese for rent. When Tudor returned, he spent one season for Gloria, playing 9 matches and scoring one goal. In the summer of 2002, it was time for the player to move on - Christian Tudor was sold to the Moldavian Sheriff.
Football career
Christian Tudor is a football player who won trophies only in the “Sheriff”. It was this career period that was the most successful for the Romanian football player. He became the champion of Moldova three times, once won the Moldova Cup, and once even won the CIS Cup. For “Sheriff” he played 28 matches, scoring 18 goals in them. In the summer of 2003, Tudor was sent for rent for a year to the Spartak Vladikavkaz - this was the first time he got into the Russian Championship. There he spent a whole season, returned to Moldova, played there for some more time, and at the end of the transfer window was sold to FC Moskva. There he spent six months before he was sent on lease - again to the Spartak Vladikavkaz.
After returning a year later, Tudor was transferred to the club’s double, for which he played for one year, until in the winter of 2007 his contract with Moscow ended. Then he took a year off to improve his health, and returned to football in 2008, signing a contract with FC Alania. It was all the same “Spartak” in which he had already spent two years - only now it was called differently. After a year of diligent attempts to restore his career, Christian Tudor announced that he was leaving big sport. He hung his boots on a nail, as he realized that with his health he would not be able to play at a high level.
After retirement
Tudor was only 27 years old when he completed his career as a player, the reason for this was serious health problems. He threw all his strength into the treatment, which lasted for three years. However, on December 23, 2012, 30-year-old Christian died at home in Romania from cirrhosis.
Christian Tudor is now remembered by many - he was not a star football player, did not represent a competitor to Messi or Ronaldo. But for his level, he coped well with the tasks that were set before him. That is why he became the top scorer of the CIS Cup in 2003 - thanks to his scoring skills, “Sheriff” was able to win this trophy for the first and last time in history.
Unfortunately, Christian Tudor will no longer please anyone with his goals scored and will not raise a new trophy won with the club.
