Playing career
He was born in Brăila,[1] into a family coming from Muralto, Switzerland.[2][better source needed] Toma began his football career in 1940, when he played for FC Suter as a striker. After a period when he played as a youth for Capșa București, he moved to Iași. He played only a season at CS ta, and after two months at Câmpulung Moldovenesc, he moved to Steaua București. He played twelve years for the Army club, and was a part of the Steaua Golden Team. He had at Steaua a famous and a fair-play rivalry with Ion Voinescu. It was said that Toma and Voinescu were the best couple of goalkeepers that a Romanian football club ever had.[3] Toma won also 16 caps for Romania.[4]
Toma retired from professional football in 1961.[5]
Coaching career
Despite being a great goalkeeper, Toma was not a successful manager. He managed only lower league sides and also a large number of youth teams.
