Anton Munteanu (3 July 1932 – 22 May 2007) was a Romanian footballer.[1] He spent his entire career playing alongside his twin brother Dumitru Munteanu.[4][5] In 1958, he and his brother were banned for life from playing football because they were considered "rebels" and "bourgeois elements" by the Communist regime, but after one year they were allowed to play again.[4][5]
