Vasile Zavoda (born 26 July 1929 in Rodna Veche, Bistriţa), commonly known as Zavoda II or Tigrul Akbar, is a former Romanian football player.
[edit] Overview
He played for Metalul Baia Mare between 1947 and 1951, before joining Steaua Bucureşti. In 1964, aged 35, Zavoda plays his last season, for ASA Târgu Mureş before calling it a day.
Zavoda, one of the best defenders the Romanian football ever produced, played 257 games in Romania's Divizia A and scored two goals. He also won 20 caps for Romania, the first in 1951 against Czechoslovakia, the last one in 1962 against East Germany. He played for Romania at the 1952 Summer Olympics.[1]
He is the younger brother of Francisc Zavoda.
Today he lives in Bucharest, in the same block of flats with his great friend and former team-mate Ion Voinescu. The couple meet every day to discuss about football and Steaua Bucureşti.
