Gheorghe Ene (also known as Gheorghe Ene II; 27 January 1937 – 6 April 2009) was a Romanian football striker and coach.

Club career

Ene was born on 27 January 1937 in București, Romania, and began playing junior-level football in 1952, aged 14 at Progresul ICAS București. In 1954, he started his senior career at Voința București, moving after one season to Progresul CPCS București. On 18 March 1956 he made his Divizia A debut, playing for Rapid București under coach Ferenc Rónay in a 1–1 draw against Minerul Petroșani. During his four seasons spent with The Railwaymen, Ene became the top-scorer of the 1958–59 Divizia A with 17 goals scored. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Gheoghe_Ene,_Mircea_Petescu_1963.jpg" caption="Ene (pictured with the ball) and [[Mircea Petescu]] (right) in a derby match (1963)"] ::

Ene went to play for Dinamo București where from 1962 to 1965 he helped the club win four consecutive Divizia A titles. In the first one he worked with three coaches, Traian Ionescu, Constantin Teașcă and Nicolae Dumitru, who gave him 20 appearances in which he scored 19 goals. He would score two goals in the league in the derby against Steaua, including one in a 3–2 victory. Ene played in 11 European Cup matches in which he scored two goals. In the 1965–66 campaign, he scored two goals against Denmark's champion, Boldklubben 1909 which helped Dinamo advance to the next round. There, they were eliminated by Inter Milan, winners of the previous two seasons of the competition, but earned a historical 2–1 victory in the first leg.

Ene spent the last season of his career at Dinamo Bacău, making his last Divizia A appearance on 9 June 1968 in a 4–1 victory against Farul Constanța, totaling 227 matches with 116 goals in the competition.

International career

Ene played three games for Romania, making his debut under coach Gheorghe Popescu on 15 June 1955 in a 4–1 friendly loss to Sweden. His second game was a 1–1 draw against Yugoslavia in the 1958 World Cup qualifiers. His last appearance was on 8 October 1961 in a friendly that ended with a 4–0 victory against Turkey.

Managerial career

Ene started coaching after he ended his playing career at Dinamo București's children and juniors center.

His brother, Daniel, was also a footballer who played for SC Bacău and Rapid București. Ene died on 6 April 2009 at age 72.
