A bit of trivia: Legia is not only the original club of Artur Boruc, but also the current club of Marek Saganowski. He still, at almost 37, frequently starts, even in the first 11, even though he's recently "celebrated" an anniversary of his last league goal (it was his 100th in general, though...

He should at least be given a day off and be allowed to go to the game FFS:P

You know, there's a subtle difference between facing an uphill battle for a place in a club which will probably fight in a lower end of the league table than actually compete for anything and being one red card/injury from Champions League Final. Especially if you previously were kept on the...

He did denied Saganowski (who at 35 is still running all over the pitch like crazy, we at Legia normally play without a nominal striker but he is the first one to be sent to the pitch at times when such striker is needed. He's just 2 goals short of joining the "Club of 100" of the Polish...

Boruc i allegedly "injured", though he himself said in the interview he had "absolutely no idea about it" :O

Well, Artur is quite used to scoring, nothing new to him:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDdrHUUz_II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QZLku7XjA And as far as the international matches are concerned... You now, I think the memory of 1973 haunts us in Poland way more than it haunts...

I think he still has room for improvement. It seems many still don't fully recognize what is the calibre of the talent we're dealing with. For example, I guess few of you know that in 2008 he was shortlisted for FIFPro World XI Player Awards (the 45,000 professional footballers belonging to the...

Boruc might have been a wee bit fat but at no point was he worse than either Kelvin or Gazza - if you thought it had been so, just admit you were wrong, man :) It was very funny (and yet sad at the same time) for us who were aware what Boruc is capable of to watch this whole ridiculous...

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxc07w_irlandia-polska-polowa_sport?search_algo=2 An ok performance, some fine interceptions of crosses, did not really stand a chance for the goal having to play with such defenders. Some quotes form the pre-match interview:

Haha, seems that Southampton fans have found their new superstar:D I'm suprised to see that many complaints about his kicking, though, he used to kick fairly well. The one problem he had was positioning of the wall (and himself) to direct free kicks, but then he may have already figured that...

That he was the best of the 3 of your goalkeepers and that he was more than good enough to keep you in the Prem, that was all given for a long time but the save he made against RVP has the markings of him returning to his top form when he is simply unstoppable. But, think for a while: 1...

He was also a bit of a clown, still is, if you listen to his comments in Polish media (e.g his New Year's wish back a few years ago: "I'd like the Polish FA to be blown out the hell off this world"). Interestingly, Poland is playing England almost exactly on the 40th anniversary of Wembley'73...

Artur's reaction to today's news:

Well, first he must get a run of consistent performances in the PL, but Szczesny surely lacks real competition now and he badly needs it. Boruc, when in form, is certainly the best keeper we can field, he was IMMENSE during WC2006 and EURO2008, seconds short of single-handedly stopping Germany...

Ha, I think I kind of know what you mean: seeing all those people dissing the "wacko fatass lazy smoking drunktard" and spending months debating their grave goalkeeping problem which will surely send their team down, not knowing the solution was always right in front of them, sitting on the...
