Andrzej Mazurkiewicz (20 April 1941 – 14 March 2023) was a Polish footballer who played as a winger. [1] [2]
Born in Poznań, Mazurkiewicz started his career at his hometown club Lech Poznań in 1955. [1] He spent his whole career with them, with the exception of two years in the early 1960s where he was forcibly called up to the army (for a mandatory two-year military service was the norm at the time), therefore having to spend this time at one of the military sports clubs; he first went to Śląsk Wrocław and then Grunwald Poznań. [1] [2]
His career high came in 1961 noting eight appearances and one goal in the Ekstraklasa with Lech Poznań. [3] [4]
He was linked to Lech for over 60 years, as after he retired from playing he was the stadium sound and lighting engineer at the club. [2] Having been in the role so long, he did this at the three stadiums Lech played at throughout the years; Dębiec Stadium , Edmund Szyc Stadium and Bułgarska Street Stadium. [2] [1]
