Player career

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 Capşa Bucureşti, he moved to Iaşi. He played only a season at CS Armata, and after two months at Câmpulung Moldovenesc, he moved to Steaua Bucureşti. He played twelve years for the Army Men, 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. Toma won also 16 caps for Romania.

Toma retired from professional football in 1963.

Achievements at Steaua

  • 5 times Champion of Romania with Steaua (1952, 1953, 1956, 1959–1960, 1960–1961)
  • 2 times Romanian Cup winner (1952, 1955)
  • Manager career

    Despite being a great goalkeeper, Toma was not a successful manager. He managed only inferior leagues teams and also a large number of youth teams.
