Was the general of any midfield he took part in, a footballing brain of the highest order allowed him to effortlessly organize the shape of a match from deep in midfield to the forefront of the attack. He was most greatly famed for his exquisite curling shots both from open play and set-pieces, he could make them from anywhere on the pitch and they were popularly known as ''rogale'' or croissants, in reference to their tremendous dip. Deyna was not a player of pace or power but of pure and almost unrivalled genius, his mind simply operated on a different level, perfectly aware that the ball is always faster than any player. Deyna's leisurely style was exemplified by his fantastic dribbling, without any pace he could slice right through the heart of a team on technical execution alone, avoiding an array of opponents by anticipating the movements of his rivals and at times seemingly standing in place yet still bypassing defenders. Deyna had a phenomenal ability to regulate the tempo of matches, highlighted by his magnificent long distance distribution; he was renowned to be a master of the surgical 30-meter pass, which in a single moment could turn a match on its head. At his peak was considered by some to be the paragon of a playmaker, Gerson tended to caress the ball for too long, Charlton played too mechanically, and Netzer had difficulty in balancing the individual and team aspects of the game, yet Deyna managed to strike an equilibrium. For an attacker he read the game so exceptionally well that he often negated the presence of the very markers that were charged with neutralizing him. This understanding of the game offered him the opportunity to switch positions on the field seamlessly, this was best seen in international matches when he would have the opportunity to play with a collection of the most astute talents, most notably Lubanski, due to who's calibre the two were able to rotate freely between playmaking duties and becoming a typical centre forward. Strangely despite his unquestionable talent he was only appreciated and loved in Warsaw, and generally detested and jeered in all other parts of Poland, especially in Śląsk, where the fans had their own beloved hero in Lubanski. While the two players were great friends personally, popular opinion outside the capital resonated that Lubanski was the greater player and the true symbol of Polish football. This dislike of Deyna could be explained by his affiliation with Legia which was a club infamous for recruiting and hording the best talents of the country, yet still there is no clear reason behind this general animosity of a player who helped to guide Poland to Gold in the Munich games, and after Lubanski's long term injury replaced him as captain and led Poland out of international wilderness to a third place in 1974 World Cup. Even when Deyna was recognized globally as a player of supreme class and ability, in Poland he was still regarded with a lack of respect, and this was not only limited to domestic appearances in the league, but bizarrely in home appearances for the Polish national team, where the most famous example (as there were numerous incidents) was in 1977 in a qualifier for the 1978 World Cup against Portugal when Deyna scored directly off a corner kick levelling the match at 1- 1 and ensuring qualification, yet the supporters could not contain themselves and whistled Deyna at every opportunity. From 1966 to 1978 he played for Legia Warszawa, winning two league titles and a domestic cup, appearing in 390 games for the club and scoring 141 goals. During this time he also participated in the 1972 Olympics winning gold and finishing top scorer with 9 goals in 7 matches. Came in third place behind Beckenbauer and Cruijff for the Ballon d'Or in 1974 (6th in 1972,1973). Won silver in the 1976 Olympics. In total appeared 97(102*) times for Poland scoring 41(45*) goals (*unofficial matches; olympic mathces not recognized by FIFA). After the 1974 World Cup, Real Madrid sought the services of Deyna but was blocked by the Polish government, as Deyna was playing for Legia at the time, a military club, he was considered an officer of the army and forbidden to leave the country without permission. Also the rules at the time (in Poland) stated that no player may depart for another country until he was 30 years of age or older. Finally at the age of 31 Deyna moved to Manchester City, in his twilight he struggled with injuries and adapting to the English style of football, managing only 39 appearances and 13 goals in two and half years. Ultimately Deyna moved to the NASL playing for the San Diego Sockers for three years. In 1981 he starred alongside Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Bobby Moore, and Pelé in 'Escape to Victory', a film depicting a band of POW's forced to play a game of football against their German captors. Sadly Deyna died in a road accident on September 1, 1989, only 41 years of age. VIDEO: Long range goal(1989)>Pen.
