Sławomir Rutka (16 April 1975 – 22 February 2009) was a Polish footballer who played as a central defender.
Rutka was born in Jedlnia-Letnisko. During his 17-year senior career he represented Proch Pionki (1992–94, 2008–09), Radomiak Radom (1995), MG MZKS Kozienice (1995–97), Korona Kielce (1997–98, 2003–08), Legia Warsaw (1999), Widzew Łódź (2000, 2001–02), Ruch Radzionków (2000–01) and ŁKS Łódź (2002), appearing in a total of 69 Ekstraklasa games in representation of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh clubs.
In late February 2009, Rutka was found dead by his wife after having committed suicide by hanging. Already retired and coaching his first team Proch, he had been previously linked with a match fixing network, which had resulted in a two-year ban; he was 33 years old.[1]
