[edit] Larry Bird as a Legia footballer ?
There is an obvious mistake. Larry Bird (basketball player) is listed as a one of the most famous Legia Warsaw football player. Someone should correct it.

[edit] 1993 title
This is a nice story. Legia was going neck and neck (47 points) with ŁKS Łódź, untill the last match day. Legia won away 6-0 at Wisła Kraków, and ŁKS won 7-1 at home against Olimpia Poznań. The Polish FA firstly awarded the title to Legia just to, on the next day award a both sided walkower in these games and in consequence the title went to Lech Poznań. What makes the story nice? The referees in these games. The ref. for Legia's game was Marian Dusza- arrested in 2005 for corruption in Polish football and for ŁKS the current president of the Polish FA Michał Listkiewicz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.199.198.237 (talk) 23:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Racism
No mention to racism? This is one of the clubs with the worst record in racist violence and abuse by its fans, and no mention to it is being made in the article. Rsazevedo msg 14:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I am watching events happening during Legia games and the fact is that racists are some 5-10% of fans. And the club itself has nothing to do with it. Tymek (talk) 14:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- But it is certainly worth mentioning. 5-10% of fans is a very high number of people, and episodes regarding racist chants towards black players and objects being thrown onto the pitch have ocurred and the club has been punished by it.
- Also, recently BBC made a story on the club, and their reporter (of Indian origin) was prevented from watching a match in the stands because the club officials claimed they could not guarantee his safety; fans threatened to lynch him just because of the colour of his skin.

- Director of Legia, Krzysztof Miklas, is shocked at lack of competence and bias of the BBC reporter Mihira Bose who made this story. Sadly yet another example of BBC going down and becoming a trumpet of partisan, politically correct journalism. Miklas' utterance is here [1] Translation upon request. Tymek (talk) 22:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Images speak for themselves. The fans BBC showed in the stadium certainly did not look peace-loving citizens who would welcome dark-coloured people in their midst. Rsazevedo msg 01:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Soccer fans, whether in Poland or in Brazil, are hardly peace-loving citizens during games. As for dark-colored people - well, I have never been to a Legia's game, my hunch is that neither have you, and I cannot state anything about it. If you think it is necessary to include info about racists, just do it. Tymek (talk) 01:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

On another note, Ransford Osei is not a Legia player, he did not join Legia due to FIFA rules if I am correct, either way he is not part of the team and was not signed on loan or in any other way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.23.89.80 (talk) 13:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
