Andrzej Bernard Buncol (born September 21, 1959 in Gliwice ) is a former Polish-German football player . He began his career in the men's field from 1977 to 1997 in Poland, until he moved to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1986, where he played for three clubs. From 1980 to 1986 he made 51 appearances for the Polish national team.

Family and childhood

Andrzej Buncol's grandparents and his father, who was born in Berlin , spoke German . He himself was born in Gliwice and grew up there; At the time, conversations between older people were held in German.

Career

The midfielder Buncol began playing football in the offspring of Piast Gliwice , where he received his first contract for the first team; two years later he moved to Ruch Chorzów . In 1982 he was under contract with Legia Warsaw . He took part with the Polish national team at the 1982 World Cup in Spain and scored a goal in the third group game (5-1 against Peru ). After the tournament he received a loose request from an Italian club, but the then communist government in Poland did not allow players to move abroad until they were 28 years old. Buncol was only 23 at the time.

Before the 1986 World Cup in Mexico , the 27-year-old moved over the Iron Curtain to the Federal Republic of Germany to join first division club FC 08 Homburg after the club 's representatives had presented him with a contract during the training camp of the Polish national team in Bavaria . The move came about after he had negotiated a previous contract extension with Legia Warsaw to be allowed to leave the club prematurely abroad. His national team career was over after the World Cup, however, as national coach Antoni Piechniczek resigned and his successor Wojciech Lazarek relied on players from the domestic league. In total, he ran 51 times for Poland until June 1986.

After a year in Homburg, Buncol moved to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 1987 . In the same year he took on the German citizenship that his German ancestors gave him. The Leverkusen board of directors had moved him to take this step, as only two foreigners per team were allowed on the field at the time. As a result of the acceptance of German citizenship, he was officially excluded from the national team in 1987 because of an allegedly unpratiotic attitude. In his first year with Leverkusen, he won the UEFA Cup as a regular player . At the end of his career he played for Fortuna Düsseldorf from 1992 to 1997 .

Buncol holds the Trainer A license. From 2008 he was assistant coach alternately for the U-15 and U-17 teams at Bayer 04. From January 2014, alongside Jürgen Luginger, he was assistant coach of the Leverkusen regional league team, which ceased playing in mid-2014.

Others
