Summary/Abstract: Stefan Żywotko’s oral history account is a story about almost one hundred years of Polish history from the perspective of a person who was a football player and coach. His account includes, among others, the themes of the interwar Lviv, the II World War, post-war Szczecin, the beginnings of football in Western Poland, and a story about Algeria in the 1970s and 1980s. It is also an interesting source about this person, who has been very successful in sport but is not widely known in Poland.
