Septimiu Câmpeanu (also known as Tim Câmpeanu and in Germany as Tim Kamp; born 12 July 1957)[2] is a Romanian retired football striker and manager.

Club career

"Tim was one of the great talents that the Romanian land gave and he was certainly the most fair-play footballer I knew. I am proud and happy to have been his colleague."

–Vasile Dobrău, former "U" Cluj teammate[3]

Câmpeanu was born on 12 July 1957 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1970 at Universitatea Cluj.[1][3][4] He made his Divizia A debut under coach Silviu Avram on 17 August 1974 at age 17 in Universitatea's 4–2 away loss to Steaua București.[1][3][4] After two seasons, "U" Cluj were relegated to Divizia B, but Câmpeanu stayed with the club and helped it gain promotion back to Divizia A after three seasons by scoring 19 goals in 34 matches in the 1978–79 Divizia B season which helped them earn the first place.[1][4] In the following season he netted a personal record of 24 goals, as the team scored a total of 41, which earned him the Divizia A top-scorer title, also by this time he became known for his ability to score from free kicks.[1][3][4]

In 1982, after "U" Cluj were relegated once again to Divizia B, Câmpeanu went to play for Steaua București where he spent two seasons, scoring 21 goals in the league.[1][3][4] The club also reached the 1984 Cupa României final, where coach Emerich Jenei sent him in the 65th minute to replace Victor Pițurcă in the 2–1 loss to Dinamo București.[3][4][5] He returned to Universitatea Cluj in the 1984–85 Divizia B season, helping it earn first place and promotion to Divizia A by the end of it, scoring 12 goals in 28 matches.[1][3][4] Câmpeanu played three more seasons for The Red Caps in Divizia A, making his last appearance on 22 June 1988 in a 2–1 home victory against Oțelul Galați, totaling 277 games with 117 goals in the competition.[1][4]

In 1988 he left Romania for West Germany as his wife was suffering from an illness and she could get adequate treatment there.[1][3][4] Câmpeanu played for a few years at VfB 06 Langenfeld, Düsseldorfer SV 04 and SV Wersten 04, afterwards settling in Düsseldorf where for a while he worked at the junior center of local professional club, Fortuna.[1][3][4] Known as Tim Kamp, he coached the first team from 9 April 2001 to 2 April 2002 in the Regionalliga Nord.[6] Four years after leaving Fortuna's under-17 team, Kamp returned to manage ninth-tier SV Rosellen in January 2011.[2] In April 2012, he became sporting director of SV Wersten 04.[7]

International career

From 1979 to 1982, Câmpeanu played two matches and scored one goal for Romania's B team.[8]

Câmpeanu played four games for Romania, making his debut on 8 April 1981 when coach Valentin Stănescu sent him at half-time to replace Mircea Sandu in a 2–1 friendly loss to Israel.[9][10] He also played in a 0–0 draw against Hungary in the 1982 World Cup qualifiers.[9][11] In his last appearance for the national team, he managed to score his only goal in a 3–2 friendly victory against Israel.[9][12]
