Marian Machowski (1 October 1932 – 5 January 2022) was a Polish footballer and researcher specialising in the field of mining and mining machinery. As a footballer, he played as a right winger, spending most of his career with Wisła Kraków. [1] He made one appearance for the Poland national team in 1956. [3] [4]
Career
Born in Kraków on 1 October 1932, Machowski was the son of a footballer who played for Lauda Kraków. [1] He lived with his family in Ludwinów and later in Kazimierz. [1] After World War II, he became a player of Nadwiślana Kraków before joining Wisła Kraków. [1] At Wisła Kraków, Machowski first played for the club's reserve team and then, from 1953, for the first team. [1] He made 194 appearances scoring 17 goals, of which 181 appearances and 14 goals came in the league. [1] He made one appearance for the Poland national team in 1956, appearing in a 2–1 loss against Bulgaria in Wrocław. [1] He ended his career at ACC Eagles Chicago. [1]
Style of play
A right winger, Machowski was known for his stamina, speed and creativity. [1] Gazeta Krakowska described him as a "brave, relentless and aggressive" player. [1]
Post-playing life
After retiring from playing, Machowski became a coach at his former Wisła Kraków, leading the reserve and junior teams. [1] In the late 1960s he was also an assistant to first team coach Mieczysław Gracz. [1]
During his time as a footballer, Machowski graduated from AGH University of Science and Technology, a technical university in Kraków, and became a researcher specialising in the field of mining and mining machinery. [1] He received various awards and distinctions for his teaching and research work in the field of monument protection, including the Gold Cross of Merit.
