Reading today that Lato has been getting plenty of stick from the Polish fans. What's the reason for this? I thought he'd be a hero after World Cup '74, '78 and the Olympics in '72.
It`s only because his involvement in Polish FA and way he is managing that institution, not for long now thanks God (general arrogance and lack of knowledge, corruption allegations, scandalous decision to remove our White Eagle crest from players shirts for PFA badge, unfriendly tickets distribution system and many more).
He was a great star and fantastic player praised by millions but his recent years activities ruined that image.
There is this song "Byles legenda, zostales sprzedajna menda" which means "You were a legend but now you bacame venal ****".
People still love him/like him it`s not like that, but sooner he leave FA chairman position the better for him and for us. And if he will get involved in some good footbaling projects/charity etc. he may be able to rebuild his image but not to former glory I`m afraid.
