Septimiu Câmpeanu (also known as Tim Câmpeanu and in Germany as Tim Kamp; born 12 July 1957)[3] is a Romanian retired football striker and manager.

Club career[edit]

"Tim was one of the great talents that the Romanian land gave and he was certainly the most fair-play footballer I knew. I am proud and happy to have been his colleague."

Vasile Dobrău, former "U" Cluj teammate[4]

Septimiu Câmpeanu was born on 12 July 1957 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and started to play junior level football in 1970 at Universitatea Cluj, making his Divizia A debut under coach Silviu Avram on 17 August 1974 at age 17 in a 4–2 away loss in front of Steaua București.[1][5][4] After two seasons, "U" Cluj were relegated to Divizia B, but Câmpeanu stayed with the club and helped it gain promotion back to Divizia A after three seasons by scoring 19 goals in 34 matches in the 1978–79 Divizia B season which helped them earn the first place.[1][5] In the following season he scored a personal record of 24 goals, as the team scored total of 41, which earned him the top-goalscorer of Divizia A title, also by this time he became known for his ability of scoring from free kicks.[1][5][4]

In 1982, after "U" Cluj were relegated once again to Divizia B, Câmpeanu went to play for Steaua București where he spent two seasons in which he managed to score 21 goals in the league, also helping the club reach the 1984 Cupa României final where coach Emerich Jenei sent him on the field in the 65th minute in order to replace Victor Pițurcă as the team lost with 2–1 in front of Dinamo București.[1][5][4][6] He returned to Universitatea Cluj in the 1984–85 Divizia B season, helping it earn the first place and promotion to Divizia A by the end of it, contributing with 12 goals scored in 28 matches.[1][5][4] Câmpeanu played three more seasons for The Red Caps in Divizia A, making his last appearance on 22 June 1988 in a 2–1 home victory against Oțelul Galați, having a total of 277 games and 117 goals scored in the competition.[1][5]

In 1988 he left Romania to go in Germany as his wife was suffering from an illness and she could get adequate treatment there, Câmpeanu played for a few years at VfB 06 Langenfeld, Düsseldorfer SV 04 and SV Wersten 04, afterwards settling in Düsseldorf where for a while he worked at the junior center of local professional club, Fortuna Düsseldorf.[1][5][4] Known as Tim Kamp, he coached the first team from 9 April 2001 to 2 April 2002 in the Regionalliga Nord.[7] Four years after leaving Fortuna's under-17 team, Kamp returned to manage ninth-tier SV Rosellen [de] in January 2011.[3] In April 2012, he became sporting director of SV Wersten 04.[8]
