Jan Pieszko is former Polish player. An offensive allrounder known as "Polish Gerd Muller" for quick reactions and astuteness in the box. But he played often in midfield and on the wing, quick and solid crosser. Very agile player with good leap which enabled him to score with the head despite the short size. An extremely effective striker, instinctively sensing scoring chances, a strong point of Legia throughout the decade. He found his way in the penalty area perfectly. Pieszko was the type of player who waited for the ball, and when it got to his feet, it usually landed "in the net". He showed great cunning in the penalty box, which made it difficult to stop him. The Polish media dubbed him "Bombardier". The Western press went even further. Mr. Jan was effective not only on the league pitches, but also in the European cups.
