Career
editBayer was nicknamed "Duży" (Big) because he played with his little brother Dariusz at Jagiellonia, nicknamed "Mały" (Little).[4]
Initially, he found it hard to adjust after leaving third division Hetman Białystok for Jagiellonia, but regained his confidence by scoring four goals in three friendlies.[4]
While still playing in the second division in 1987, Bayer was called up to the national team for a UEFA Euro 1988 qualifying match against Cyprus. However, he failed to seize his chance, hitting the crossbar in the 0–0 draw, and was the last player from the second division to feature internationally for Poland.[5]
