Career

Born in Piatra Neamţ, Nunweiller started playing football for FC Dinamo București. He came from a family with six brothers, the oldest one of them, Constantin was a water polo player and the other five: Dumitru, Ion, Victor, Radu and Eduard were footballers, each of them having at least one spell at Dinamo Bucureşti, they are the reason why the club's nickname is "The Red Dogs".[3][4] Lică Nunweiller won four consecutive Romanian league championships with the club from 1962 to 1965.[1] In 1967, he joined rivals FC Dinamo Bacău.

Nunweiller next moved to Turkey to join Beşiktaş J.K. in 1969, making him one of the first Romanians to play professional football in Turkey.[5] He made only one appearance in the Süper Lig during the 1969–70 season, before returning to Romania to finish his career with Dinamo București in 1970.

Nunweiller made five appearances for the Romania national football team.[6]

gollark: I have one, but it ends up having to basically run the entire BIOS again to rebuild the environment, and is now quite tightly coupled to potatOS.
