They’re from the Transylvanian bit of Romania…
CFR Cluj? Who are these strange, shiny people, and what do they want? Here’s what we know…
1. The CFR bit stands for “Caile Ferate Romane” which translates as Romanian Railroads, as the team was originally made up of Transylvanian railway workers.
2. The vampish/weird Cheeky Girls were conceived and given birth to in Cluj-Napoca, where the club is based. You can enjoy their smash hit, Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) after the jump.
3. They were the Transylvanian Champions in 1910.
4. They knocked out Athletic Bilbao and Saint Etienne in the 2005 Intertoto cup, which makes them not entirely rubbish.
5. They are the first Romanian side not from Bucharest to qualify for the Champions League.
