Iuliu Bodola (Hungarian: Bodola Gyula; 26 February 1912 – 12 March 1992) was a Romanian-Hungarian association football striker who played internationally both for Romania and Hungary.[1][2] His nickname was Duduş/Dudus.[3]
Career[]
Bodola played club football for Clubul Atletic Oradea, Venus București, Ferar Cluj-Napoca and MTK.[4] In November 2008, the name of the Municipal Stadium in Oradea was named after him, becoming the Stadionul Iuliu Bodola. He lived in Budapest from 1946 until his death.
International career[]
For me, the greatest Romanian footballer of all time was Iuliu Bodola. Neither Nicolae Dobrin, nor Gheorghe Hagi could be compared with him.
Former Romania coach Angelo Niculescu[5]
Bodola was a very prolific scorer for Romania. He and Wetzer were the top two goalscorers of the 1929–1931 (first) edition of the Balkan Cup (which Romania won). They scored seven goals each for their country in that tournament alone.[6] He played at both the 1934 FIFA World Cup and 1938 FIFA World Cup for Romania. After World War II he represented Hungary.
