Career

Born in Poznań, Mazurkiewicz started his career at his hometown club Lech Poznań in 1955.[1] He spent his whole career with them, with the exception of two years in the early 1960s where he was forcibly called up to the army (for a mandatory two-year military service was the norm at the time), therefore having to spend this time at one of the military sports clubs; he first went to Śląsk Wrocław and then Grunwald Poznań.[1] [2]

His career high came in 1961 noting eight appearances and one goal in the Ekstraklasa with Lech Poznań.[3]

He was linked to Lech for over 60 years, as after he retired from playing he was the stadium sound and lighting engineer at the club.[2] Having been in the role so long, he did this at the three stadiums Lech played at throughout the years;, Edmund Szyc Stadium and Bułgarska Street Stadium.[2] [1]
