Playing career

He played for several clubs in his native Poland, as well as Udinese in Italy and Dundee in Scotland. He was the third Polish player to sign with a Serie A club, after Zbigniew Boniek and Władysław Żmuda. With Legia Warsaw he played in the semifinals of 1991 Cup Winners' Cup, losing to Manchester United. He was capped Poland 45 times in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1] He held a record for most consecutive games from the debut in the national team. During his stint in Dundee he sustained an injury which eliminated him from the entire 1994/95 season; after the injury he never played again in the national team. In 1991 he was voted Polish footballer of the year.

Post-retirement

After retirement, he became a youth coach and PE teacher.[2]
