Antoni Andrzej Łyko (born 1907 in Krakow - died 1941 in Auschwitz concentration camp) was a Polish footballer (striker) and a member of the Poland national football team for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. However, he didn't actually travel to Strasbourg for the tournament. His club at that time was Wisła Kraków. He capped twice for Poland, with both games against Latvia[1]. Arrested by Gestapo on the streets of Krakow, was taken to Auschwitz, where the Germans shot him in June 1941.
