Timeline

1974

Igor Sypniewski (10 November 1974 – 4 November 2022) was a Polish professional footballer who played as a forward.

A resident of the Bałuty area of Łódź, he was believed to be one of the greatest prospects of European football, however his struggle with alcohol, gambling and mental health problems prevented him from realising his full potential and is considered to this day one of the biggest unfulfilled talents.

Born in Łódź on 10 November 1974, Sypniewski's career revolved around ŁKS Łódź, his boyhood club.

He reportedly had his first beer when he was 9 years old, whilst hanging around the Koziny area, where he would go on to frequent during his life.

He started playing for PTC Pabianice aged 11, his first formal club.

He had behavioural problems early on, frequently getting into fights with players from other neighbourhoods.

After appearing intoxicated at training several times, he was transferred to Orzeł Łódź temporarily and subsequently to Opoczno-based Ceramika as a result.

He went on to play several seasons in the Polish Ekstraklasa and Polish First League for ŁKS.

Sypniewski then spent several seasons playing in the Greek Super League with Kavala, Panathinaikos F.C. and OFI Crete.

Unknown outside Poland, he was successful at Kavala and it was soon evident that a bigger club would be after him.

He appeared in the UEFA Champions League with Panathinaikos, one of the powerhouses of Greek football, and was overall reasonably successful with the club, even though he failed to win the Greek championship.

1999

In 1999 and 2001, Sypniewski made two appearances for the Poland national team; against New Zealand and Cameroon respectively.

2000

An ŁKS Łódź legend, regarded as a phenomenal player in both Greece and Sweden aside from his native country, his career highlight is considered to be the 2000–01 and 2001–2002 seasons with Greek club Panathinaikos for whom he scored important Champions League goals in Europe.

He performed very well for Panathinaikos in the 2000–01 and 2001–2002 seasons, especially in Europe, including an outstanding match against Manchester United.

Sypniewski later said that United player David Beckham, whom he nutmegged in the game, was average and that he had played against many better footballers.

He also scored a goal against Arsenal which was at the time guarded by goalkeeper David Seaman.

Sypniewski broke his arm and his play progressively deteriorated; he left Panathinaikos soon after.

He briefly appeared at OFI Crete but he only made 10 appearances before the club released him.

2002

Following his spell in Greece, Sypniewski had a short stint with top division side RKS Radomsko, scoring four goals in nine league games, before signing with Wisła Kraków in 2002, who at the time completely dominated Polish football.

Several weeks after his transfer, however, due to his frequent absenteeism and excessive drinking, he was released by the club.

He then signed on with the Swedish club Halmstad.

2003

He scored nine goals in 13 games during the spring in the 2003 Allsvenskan season, which rendered him a reputation as a fearsome striker in the series.

He also snubbed international invitations from the Poland national team to focus on his club performances.

It was at this time where it seemed he was relatively healthy.

During the ensuing autumn season, Sypniewski suffered from a mysterious illness, while Halmstad dropped from fourth to ninth in the standings.

2004

He was suspended by the club from taking part in the final game of the season, since he had agreed to join Malmö FF on a free transfer for the 2004 season.

Along with Patrik Andersson and Afonso Alves, Sypniewski joined the Malmö team that had come close to winning the championship in successive years, and he was expected to play alongside Niklas Skoog, with Alves and central midfielder Tobias Grahn supplying the necessary passes.

Following some unexpected problems in pre-season, while not wanting to practice properly on Malmö's camp in La Manga Club, Sypniewski hit back and scored twice in a 5–1 whitewash for Malmö at home against Örebro SK in front of over 20 thousand supporters.

Following that game, Sypniewski started struggling with his form and temper, eventually going to such lengths that Malmö terminated his three-year contract after only six months.

When Sypniewski departed, Afonso Alves moved up to a striking position, where he fired Malmö to the championship.

Sypniewski was not given a medal due to not appearing in a sufficient amount of games.

He turned up at bottom side Trelleborgs FF in a desperate attempt to save the strugglers from relegation, but Sypniewski was completely out of shape and out of the club following a few matches.

Sypniewski returned to Poland and scored sixteen goals across a season-and-a-half at ŁKS.

He then made a shocking return to Malmö to play with Bunkeflo in the third-tier division.

Following a promising start with several goals and with rumours surfacing about interest from higher levels, Sypniewski managed to get into trouble once more, committing drunk driving in Malmö; he was sacked from Bunkeflo as a result and was forced to move back to Poland.

His former club ŁKS Łódź offered him a helping hand, but his personal problems continued.

Sypniewski made several attempts at getting back into football, but due to his addiction, he trialled with several clubs other than ŁKS, mostly local lower league teams until he eventually retired altogether.

2007

Sypniewski re-appeared in 2007 when he went to watch ŁKS Łódź play Lech Poznań as a spectator in the stands.

In a state of intoxication he, along with a group of ŁKS hooligans, attacked the Lech fans in the away sector.

He was also later reported by a local woman to the police in Łódź who claimed that unprovoked, he was verbally abusive towards her and threw empty bottles at her.
