Club career
[edit | edit source]Speriatu was born on 29 September 1957 in Toporu, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1972 at local club Spicu.[1][2] In 1973 he joined Argeș Pitești where he made his Divizia A debut on 21 November 1976 when coach Florin Halagian sent him in the 63rd minute to replace Cristian Gheorghe in a 3–1 away loss to UTA Arad.[1][2][3] In the 1978–79 UEFA Cup edition he helped the team eliminate Panathinaikos in the first round with a 5–1 aggregate victory.[1][4] In the following round they met Valencia led by Mario Kempes, earning a 2–1 win in the first leg, but they lost the second one with 5–2, thus the campaign ended.[1][4][5] In the same season he helped Argeș win the title, being used by coach Halagian in 17 games, having to compete to be first-choice goalkeeper with Cristian Gheorghe.[1][6]
In 1980, Speriatu went to play for one season at Dinamo București, working with coach Valentin Stănescu who used him regularly as they earned a runner-up position in the league.[1][2][7] Afterwards he and Constantin Pană were transferred from Dinamo to Sportul Studențesc București in exchange for Dumitru Moraru.[8] There, he spent five seasons, the highlight of this period being a second place in the 1985–86 season.[1][2] He also kept clean sheet in a 1–0 victory against Inter Milan in the 1984–85 UEFA Cup, but the second leg was lost with 2–0.[1][9]
In 1986, Speriatu returned to Argeș Pitești for four seasons, then made a comeback for one year at Sportul Studențesc.[1][2] In 1991 he played abroad for Israeli second league side Shimshon Tel Aviv.[1][2] Afterwards he came back for a third spell at Sportul Studențesc where he made his last Divizia A appearance on 20 June 1993 in a 4–2 away loss to Dinamo, having a total of 406 appearances in the competition, also totaling 10 games in the UEFA Cup.[1][2] Speriatu ended his career in 1994, after he spent one season at Dacia Pitești in Divizia C, helping it gain promotion to the second league.[1][10]
