Costică Toma (January 1, 1928 – May 13, 2008) was a Romanian international football goalkeeper and later manager.
[edit] Player career
Toma begun 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.

Toma retired from professional football in 1963.
