Cristi Minculescu: "the book written by Miron Ghiu Caia, will sprise a part of the Iris activity. Our fans will not find sensational news about us, or things they doesn't know until now. That is because we didn't hide them ever. We allways were open to them, there are not hidden things and never will be".
Cristi Minculescu is one of the most important fans of Universitatea Craiova and he allways shown his passion for this footbal team. The last CD of IRIs was called MAXIMA. This is the same name like the nick name of Universitatea Craiova when this band had its best performaces ever.
