Gerard Cieślik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerard Cieślik (born April 27, 1927, otherwise known as Gienek) is a former football player of Ruch Chorzów. He is most noted for having scored two goals at Stadion Śląski against Soviet Union on October 20, 1957. In fact, he spent his entire career at Chorzów, a tenure which included victory in the 1951 Polish Cup, and 3 Poland Master titles (1951, 1952, 1953).

He became the club's coach and scout in 1959, and having never cut ties with the team, is seen as a great example of loyalty within the Polish game.
