Famous speech
From all the clubs he worked for, Valentin Stănescu admitted he was mostly attached to Rapid București, holding in his spell from the 80s the following speech in front of the players which remained popular in the club over the years: "Hey guys, do you hear? Let me tell you how things are. Rapid is not yours, it is not mine or the ministry's. Rapid belongs to over 100,000 railway workers from all over the country. It belongs to them, to their wives and children, to those who were, hundreds of thousands more, and who are no longer here and of those who will be after us! They are people who have worked and are working so that you can kick a ball, learn a book, become people. Do not disgrace Rapid! Whoever doesn't love the team does not have a choice, he'll have to love it like his mother and father. Here are your mother and father, house and table and sister and brother and lover and everything, everything you want and have holy in the world! From now on I'm your grandfather, but don't think that if I'm 60 years old, I have an easier hand. Who wants can leave now, because those who stay only leave the ship with their feet first!".[3][4][5]
Legacy
The Giulești-Valentin Stănescu Stadium was a football stadium in the Giulești neighborhood of Bucharest. The venue, named after him, was the home stadium of FC Rapid București for almost 80 years.[3]
