Career
{{Quote box| width=20% Georgescu was born on 20 March 1931 in Ploiești, Romania and began playing junior-level football in 1946 at local club Prahova, then switched teams in 1948, going to neighboring club Concordia. In the same year, he scored a hat-trick in Universitatea's 3–1 victory against CCA București, and the press considered the second goal the most beautiful of that season for "U", as Georgescu made a run from the center of the field and with a 20-meter shot, he defeated goalkeeperIon Voinescu. After the team was relegated in 1956, Georgescu stayed with the club, also becoming the team's captain after Mircea Luca retired, helping it get promoted back to the first league after one year in which he scored four goals in 23 matches. He helped "U" Cluj win the 1964–65 Cupa României, being used the entire match by coach Andrei Sepci in the 2–1 victory in the final against Dinamo Pitești. Subsequently, Georgescu played three games in the 1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup, helping The Red Caps eliminate Austrian team, Wiener Neustadt in the first round, being eliminated in the following round by Atlético Madrid. He retired shortly after the double against the Spaniards, having a total of 280 Divizia A games with 13 goals scored. ==Personal life==
