Andrzej Szarmach
Andrzej Szarmach (May 10, 1950 in Gdansk, Poland) was a Polish soccer player.
With Grzegorz Lato at his right, Robert Gadocha at his left, and Kazimierz Deyna in support, Szarmach profitted from the absence of Wlodzimierz Lubanski to lead the Polish attack, the best at 1974 World Cup, with 16 goals. While Lato finished first in the Cup in goals with 7, Szarmach, with 5 goals, also marked the competition with his imprint. He confirmed his status two years later at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, winning the gold medal and the title of best player of the tournament, with 9 goals.
Jowled and moustached, the Polish attacker had a Gallic quality, and thus easily fit in at AJ Auxerre. He won the favor of Guy Roux and of the Burgundian public, by scoring 94 goals between 1980 and 1985. After a brief period at Guingamp and a total of 25 goals in 55 games with the Polish national team, Szarmach began his career as a manager, in particular managing Clermont-Ferrand , then Châteauroux in the second division.
