Carol Haidu (born 3 June 1942) is a Romanian former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1][2] He was born with the name Karol Haydu, but the Communist authorities made him change it to Carol Haidu, in order to "sound more Romanian".[3] After he retired from football, he had a period when he suffered from poverty, not having a place to sleep.[3][4][5]
International career
Carol Haidu played five games at international level for Romania, including three at the 1966 World Cup qualifiers.[6] He received goals in only one game, a 2–1 loss against Portugal, with both goals being scored by Eusébio.[7]
