Club career edit

Early career edit

Gabriel Tamaș was born on 9 November 1983 in Brașov, Romania and he started to play junior level football at local club, ICIM Brașov.[4][5][6] He began his senior career in the 1998–99 Divizia B season with FC Brașov, making his debut when coach Cornel Țălnar sent him on the field for the last minutes of a league game with Sportul Studențesc București.[5][7][8] That would remain his only appearance for FC Brașov as he went together with teammate Tiberiu Ghioane to play for first league team Rapid București for whom he did not get to make his debut as coach Anghel Iordănescu sent him back to the second league on loan at Tractorul Brașov for two seasons.[4][6][8][9]

Dinamo București and Galatasaray edit

In July 2002 he became free of contract and coach Țălnar took him to Dinamo București where he made his Divizia A debut on 17 August when coach Ion Moldovan sent him on the field in order to replace Dan Alexa in the 79th minute of a 5–0 win over Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, scoring his first goal in the competition on 20 October in a 2–0 victory with Național București.[4][5][6][7][8][10] By the end of the season he won the first trophy of his career when coach Ioan Andone used him in the first 71 minutes when he replaced him with Ovidiu Burcă in the 1–0 win against Național from the Cupa României final.[4][6][11]

Tamaș was transferred in the summer of 2003 by Dinamo to Galatasaray for €2 million.[4][6][8][12] He spent only half of season alongside fellow Romanians Florin Bratu and Ovidiu Petre with the Cim Bom Bom side, being used rarely in the league by coach Fatih Terim, making four appearances in the Champions League group stage including a 2–0 home win with Juventus.[4][13]

Spartak Moscow, Auxerre and various loans edit

Tamaș moved to Russian Premier League club Spartak Moscow in January 2004 who paid Galatasaray €3.5 million for his services.[4][8][14] He spent half of season with The Gladiators, playing constantly in the defense with compatriots Adrian Iencsi and Florin Șoavă until January 2005 when he was loaned back to Romania at Dinamo because Spartak bought Nemanja Vidić on his place.[4][6][8][15][16] At the end of the 2004–05 season he won another Cupa României with The Red Dogs, Andone using him the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 with Farul Constanța from the final.[4][6][17] He started the following season by helping the team earn for the first time in its history the Supercupa României, coach Ioan Andone using him the first half, replacing him for the second one with Lucian Goian in the 3–2 victory against rivals Steaua București, also Tamaș helped the team eliminate Everton with a historical 5–2 on aggregate, reaching the group stage of the 2005–06 UEFA Cup.[4][6][18] After Spartak sold Vidić to Manchester United, he returned to play for them for a short while, afterwards being loaned again, this time at Celta Vigo where he was wanted by coach Fernando Vázquez for the 2006–07 season.[4][8][15][19] He appeared regularly for Celta, eliminating the team he belonged to, Spartak Moscow in the sixteenths-finals of the UEFA Cup, being eliminated by Werder Bremen in the following round.[4][20]

At the start of the following campaign, Tamaș was bought by Ligue 1 club Auxerre for €3 million, there he worked with coach Jean Fernandez, being teammate with Romanians Daniel Niculae and Vlad Munteanu.[4][8][21] After one year in France, he again returned to Dinamo București who paid €400.000 for a season-long loan.[4][6][7][8][22] His deal was extended for another year and was also elected captain by his teammates.[23] He scored the only goal of a victory in a derby with Steaua, played on the Ghencea stadium, then he scored in another 1–0 victory against Sturm Graz from the 2009–10 Europa League group stage.[24]

His third stint at Dinamo was interrupted prematurely in December 2009, and he signed on 1 January 2010 to go on loan for West Bromwich Albion who gave Auxerre €1 million.[4][8][25] Tamaș made his debut under coach Roberto Di Matteo on 8 January, in a 1–3 Football League Championship loss to Nottingham Forest.[26] He scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw at Reading, on 27 March.[27] The team finished the season on the second place, thus earning promotion to the Premier League.[4][28]

England and Steaua București edit

On 19 May 2010, Tamaș signed a three-year contract with the option of another year for West Bromwich Albion who paid a fee of £800,000 to Auxerre for his permanent transfer.[29] He made his Premier League debut in a severe 6–0 away loss in front of Chelsea on 14 August, but overall he had an appreciated performance in his first top-flight season, at one point the club giving him a raise, manager Di Matteo stating: "Gabi is an important figure at West Bromwich. Both on the field and off it".[4][30] On 11 September 2011, he elbowed James Vaughan in the face inside his own penalty area in a match against Norwich City; the referee gave no penalty, but Tamaș was handed a three-match ban for violent conduct.[31][32] On 26 September 2012, he opened the score for West Brom in the 3rd minute of an eventual 2–1 loss in front of Liverpool from the League Cup and after he ended his playing career in 2023 he said it was the most beautiful moment of his career.[33][34] He terminated his contract with WBA by mutual consent in September 2013.[35] The following month, he only spent a week at CFR Cluj after being dismissed because of an incident in a bar.[36]

On 17 January 2014, Tamaș continued in England by signing for Football League Championship side Doncaster Rovers.[37] Upon the expiry of his contract, he moved to Watford in the same league on a one-year agreement effective from 1 July 2014.[38] After nursing a cruciate knee ligament injury for several months, he left Watford in January 2015.[39] On 15 January 2015, Tamaș signed a two-year contract with Steaua București—the cross-town rival of his former club Dinamo, making ten league appearances in the remainder of the campaign, also being used by coach Constantin Gâlcă all the minutes of the 3–0 win over Pandurii Târgu Jiu from the Cupa Ligii final and was sent in the 77th minute to replace Fernando Varela in another 3–0 with Universitatea Cluj from the Cupa României final, as the team won The Treble.[4][6][40]

On 26 August 2015, Tamaș returned to the Football League Championship with Cardiff City on a one-year contract with the option of a further year.[41] During the first half of the season, Tamaș only appeared for the development squad and wasn't involved in the first-team trainings starting from November, resulting in his frustration and claiming he wanted to leave the Welsh capital.[42] He eventually made his debut in a 0–1 FA Cup loss to Shrewsbury Town on 10 January.[43] On 1 February 2016, Cardiff City announced that his contract was terminated by mutual consent.[44]

Tamaș then returned to Steaua București on the condition that he would address his alcohol issues and attend Church on Sundays.[45] He helped the club win the 2015–16 Cupa Ligii, being used by coach Laurențiu Reghecampf in all the minutes of the 2–1 victory in extra time from the final with Concordia Chiajna.[46] In the following season he played with "the Red-Blues" in the group stage of the Europa League where he scored the decisive goal of a 2–1 home win over Osmanlıspor.[47] Also in the national league, he was an important player of the team, appearing regularly but on 18 March in the 17th minute of an eventual 1–0 loss with Viitorul Constanța he received a red card after a hard tackle on Florin Purece, afterwards he was not used anymore in the remaining games of the championship which was eventually lost in front of Viitorul and he left the team.[48]

Hapoel Haifa edit

In June 2017, Tamaș was signed by Israeli Premier League team Hapoel Haifa, where he was wanted by coach Nir Klinger.[49] By the end of his first season spent with the club he won the Israel State Cup, playing all the minutes in the 3–1 victory from the final against Beitar Jerusalem.[6][50] In the beginning of the 2018–19 season, he won the Super Cup, equalizing in the 28th minute of the 1–1 with Hapoel Be'er Sheva, then he scored with a panenka at the penalty shoot-out which ended 5–4 in favor of his side.[6][51]

Late career edit

Gabriel Tamaș spent the last years of his career in Romania, firstly spending one season with Liga I side Astra Giurgiu, then he went for a half of season at Liga II team Universitatea Cluj, returning to first league football for one year and a half at Voluntari and half of season at Petrolul Ploiești.[52] After about one year spent in Liga II at Concordia Chiajna, in October 2023 at age 39, Tamaș suddenly decided to retire saying that he could go on physically but not psychologically, claiming disappointment with the level of Romanian football, also saying that Dinamo was the club he liked the most playing for.[5][33][53]

International career edit

Tamaș was handed his Romania national team debut by Anghel Iordănescu on 12 February 2003, coming on as a substitute for Cosmin Contra in the 90+1st minute of a 2–1 friendly defeat of Slovakia.[4][54][55] After appearing in five games at the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, manager Victor Pițurcă chose him as a starter in all ten matches of the successful UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers, where Romania finished first in its group.[54][56] He scored two goals, one in a 2–1 away victory against Slovenia and one in a 6–1 home victory over Albania.

On 25 March 2008, Tamaș was decorated by Romanian president Traian Băsescu for his performances in the Euro 2008 qualifiers; he received Medalia "Meritul Sportiv" – ("The Sportive Merit" Medal) class III.[57][58] He featured in all three matches at the final tournament, as his nation left the competition in the group stage after two draws with France and Italy and a loss to the Netherlands.[54]

Tamaș played four games at the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, and scored his last goal for the national team in a 3–2 friendly loss to Ukraine in Lviv, on 29 May 2010.[54][59] In the following years, he amassed eight caps at the Euro 2012 qualifiers, four at the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and two at the Euro 2016 qualifiers. His last two appearances were in 2018, being called up by his former teammate Cosmin Contra for the inaugural season of the Nations League. Tamaș played in a 2–1 away victory over Lithuania and in a goalless draw with Serbia, receiving a red card in the 44th minute of the latter game.[54][60][61]

Controversies edit

 
Tamaș playing for French club Auxerre in the 2007–08 season.

Tamaș was known for his controversial lifestyle outside the football pitch, his numerous nights of drinking out and provoking fights or material damages often making the headlines of Romanian media.

In October 2003, Tamaș was involved in a fight in a nightclub in his native Brașov, with the man he fought needing hospitalization and a surgery to the face.[62] In November 2004, he devastated a Poiana Brașov restaurant together with a group of friends after they were denied entrance.[63][64][65] In November 2005, after playing for Dinamo București in a 1–1 draw with Jiul Petroșani, Tamaș went to party in a nightclub in Brașov and caused a scandal, nearly starting a fight.[63][64][66]

On 14 February 2009, Tamaș was expelled to the reserves of Dinamo București after drinking alcohol and causing a scandal in the team's training camp in Turkey.[64][65][67] In July 2010, he got intoxicated and started a fight with the waiters at his brother's wedding.[64][6] In December that year, he physically abused his then-girlfriend in a nightclub in Bucharest after accusing her of infidelity.[64][6][68]

In June 2011, he overslept and missed the flight for the national team's tournament in South America after partying until dawn in a nightclub in Poiana Brașov.[64][65][66] On 11 August that year, Tamaș and his teammate Adrian Mutu were excluded from the Romania squad after they were caught drinking in a bar the previous night, while the national team was preparing for a friendly match against San Marino. Their suspension was lifted after three games.[65][69]

In May 2013, after partying in a Bucharest nightclub, Tamaș tried to enter a block of flats for shelter. The cleaning lady denied him access, so he broke in the door, went up to the first floor and fell asleep on the stairway.[70] He was taken to the police station, where he caused a scandal by yelling at and insulting the officers.[65] He received an eight-month suspended sentence for his acts.[71]

In October 2013, Tamaș was drinking in a bar in Bucharest with his national team colleague Daniel Pancu, and later that night they started fighting each other.[63][72] One week later, he signed a one-year contract with CFR Cluj, but the club dismissed him shortly after he and his teammate Florin Costea caused an incident in a local pub.[73] On the night of the 2014 New Year's Eve, Tamaș got into a fight in the lobby of a restaurant in Brașov.[74] Also in the same year, while waiting in line at a pizzeria from Doncaster, he got punched by someone for no reason below his right eye, his zygomatic bone being broken, having to get a surgery, then for a while he wore a mask during training sessions and games.[31][75]

While he was at Steaua București, in February 2015 he got into a fight with teammate Alexandru Bourceanu and his brother at Bourceanu's 12-years wedding celebration party.[76] His first spell at Steaua ended when he was dismissed after missing a training session following a night out; manager Mirel Rădoi stated that Tamaș lied to him by claiming that his phone alarm did not ring.[77]

On 23 March 2019, during his time in Israel, Tamaș was arrested by the police after driving his car at 205 km/h, having a 0.66 mg of alcohol per liter of exhaled air.[78] He spent a week in jail, after which he stayed in house arrest for a month and was sentenced to two months of community service.[79]

In October 2022, whilst drinking along with several Petrolul Ploiești teammates at a restaurant, Tamaș called their manager Nicolae Constantin on his phone and criticised his tactics. He also cursed chairman Costel Lazăr, sporting director Claudiu Tudor and the fans of Petrolul, and Constantin sent the recording to the leaders of supporter groups. The recording found its way into the media and Tamaș left the club the following days.[80]
