Nice history from 50’s on, includes two spells in Ekstraklasa.[1] All about their Ekstraklasa spell, 1998-2001.[2] In early to mid 1950s the club first met Piast Gliwice in the regional league (in 1956 Ruch were listed in the Trzecia liga Group 1 named Stalinogrodzka liga wojewódzka, id est the Stalinogród regional league, and changed their name from Górnik Radzionków to Ruch Radzionków[3]) and apparently played as ZKS Górnik Radzionków in 1953-55.[4]

- comprehensive history:

Foundation

edit

The club was established by a group of Polish activists who modelled the organisation on contemporary German sports associations. Founded as Towarzystwo Gier i Zabaw (Games and Entertainment Society) on the 14 August 1919, the First Silesian Uprising broke out just a few days later in which members of the newly created club became involved. The following year the club changed its name to Ruch Radzionków,[5] although the prefix ruch (lit. movement) is not as unambiguously Polish as Piast, Radzin, and Jastrząb which were also contenders for the club’s name.

During the first few decades of its existence Ruch Radzionków contested a series of international matches, of which little is known, and were able to build a stadium which was completed in 1933. In 1935 a Sanation-backed contender to the club was established named Strzelec Radzionków. The state-initiated club was intended to absorb Ruch Radzionków, with the latter being evicted from their newly built ground. However, Strzelec Radzionków failed to gain public support and Ruch Radzionków were able to return to their ground.[6]

Stadiums

edit

Ruch Radzionków moved into their first purpose built stadium in 1933. The construction of the ground was patronised by the voivode of the Silesian Voivodeship Michał Grażyński, for whom the ground was subsequently named. Michał Grażyński Stadium was considered state-of-the-art at the time, being the second biggest in Poland after Ruch Chorzów Stadium.[7]

Mural

edit

The mural received a mixed response from graffiti critics, with one expert describing it as “a rather naïve artwork [which] looked more like typical 1990s graffiti characters than anything from the Stürmer.”[22] The street art video-journalist Doug Gillen launched his career by filming the painting of the original mural in 2012.[23] In 2018 he produced a Vlog interview during which the Vice contributor J. S. Rafaeli described the work as “absolutely, unequivocally” antisemitic, although Gillen claimed that when the mural was painted he “didn’t pick up on any intent of malice.”[24]

Legacy

edit

Rómpsczi’s mythologisation of Kashubia and the Kashubs is the subject of the book Naród: wspólnota wyobrażona Jan Rompski do Kaszubów by Artúr Jablonskji, an assistant in the faculty of liberal arts at the University of Warsaw. Referencing Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities, the author argues that Rómpsczi imagined Kashubian identity as formed by… and a civic nationalism.[25][26]

Władysław Broniewski poem?

edit

Broniewski penned the poem Cześć i dynamit about the Siege of Madrid, followed by No pasarán! as the fall of the city neared. The latter poem, first published in the Warsaw weekly Czarno na Białem, described graffiti written by dying Republican soldiers as a beacon of hope against fascism.[33]

Comics

edit

Trainspotters have been depicted in comic form in various publications. In 1987 a Viz strip featured a new character called ‘Timothy Potter, Trainspotter’.[36] From the early 1990s Acne comic included a trainspotting character called Borin Norman and a recurring strip titled ‘Train Spotters’.[37]
