*
May 12 ,2001 : Made his Divizia A debut in theFCM Bacau 2-0 defeat ofGloria Bistrita .*Prior to joining Steaua in 2005, he played for Laminorul Roman and
FCM Bacău .*Steaua have signed Bacău's Eugen Baciu for a fee of € 230.000.
*He is not a first team regular at Steaua, but when he is brought on the pitch, he does his job very well. He was brought at Steaua as a replacement for the injured
Mirel Rădoi , in 2005. The Steaua fans didn't think that he was good enough to play for this team. His evolutions were hesitant in his first season in Ghencea. He needed a longer period of adaptation. He started to shine in the 2006-2007 season ofLiga 1 ,Mirel Rădoi andSorin Ghionea being injured in its second part. He really got it going, but the fans still couldn't forget his hesitant evolutions in the last two seasons.*He had his best game on
October 2 ,2007 , in Steaua's 0-1 defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League. He was voted the best player on the pitch for Steaua in that match, when he somehow managed to make a very good marking atEmmanuel Adebayor .International career
*Baciu won a cap for Romania, in 2002, against Poland.
