“To be like Kazimierz Górski”

On March 2, 2021, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kazimierz Górski. Because of that, on March 18, 2021, we took part in a lesson organized by the Museum of Sports about him. 

This lesson was related to our lines of inquiry: What makes a successful player and How football has changed over time.  

The educator told us about: Kazimierz Górski – a footballer and a very famous coach, the history of Polish football and about the team: Orły Górskiego or Golden Eleven. 

Below is what we remember from the meeting: 

•  Kazimierz Górski’s hometown was Lviv. 
• At the World Cup, we won bronze by defeating Brazil 1-0 in 1974. 
• The nickname of Kazimierz Górski was “Roe-deer” because of his physique. 
• Kazimierz Górski was the coach and selector of the Polish National Team since 1953. 
• Poland won gold and silver medals at the Olympics.  
• Kazimierz Górski joined Legia Warszawa in 1945.  
• He played once for the Polish National Team.  

• His famous quote is: “The point here is to score one more goal than your opponent”.  

We loved this lesson and look forward to the next one!
