Some newspaper said Gheorghe ‘Gica’ Popescu was an secret informant to the government back in the 1980s.He kind of denies it:
The 41-year-old Popescu said he once signed a document promising to “defend the national interests.”Apparently back then government had national-team athletes on a short leash.
“I signed a very general thing. My conscience isn’t clear, it’s very clear,” he said at a news conference. “I didn’t inform on anyone.”
He had over 100 caps for Romania, went to three World Cups and captained Barcelona, so he sounds like kind of a big deal.

Never heard of Popescu? Really? You must be new at this "football" thing.
i'm 23 years old, he's like 87 years old
my generations missed him
and his wikipedia page is lame, so he can't be all that
